HOUSE OF JERKY TERIYAKI BEEF JERKY - House of Jerky is a premium brand of jerky that uses no preservatives and no MSG. Their claim to the quality of their beef jerky lies in the fact that they use only premium, grass fed cattle beef that is cut into lean, whole premium top round steak which is not ground, chopped, or processed. Having had a couple different types of House of Jerky products, I can tell they are not lying. After opening the bag and taking a look inside, I was greeted by relatively thick cut pieces that looked as moist and tempting as I had hoped for. The bag smelled like it should have for this flavor, and actually had almost a citrus-like scent infused with it. I dug into the bag after my initial overview with high hopes. The first piece I had, unfortunately, was rather tough and hard to chew. Even though it was moist, it was actually quite tough and that kind of threw me for a loop. To be honest, the piece itself was pretty stringy and took quite a while to finish. Fortunately, the flavor remained for the entire duration I was eating the piece. While it had very good flavor throughout with a good aftertaste, I was a little disappointed by the texture and tenderness, or in this case, the lack thereof. Don’t get me wrong - this is still a great tasting jerky, but in my opinion, the tenderness really detracted from the overall taste. If you like tough jerky, this is the stuff for you! It’s very moist and flavorful, but it is definitely going to take some chewing to get it down. I’m rating this jerky a 6 out of 10, mostly due to the toughness, but it’s still a good jerky to try.
