About Bootleg Jerky Co

Bootleg Jerky Co was born out of a need to provide premium meat snacks for the whole family. We use only 100% grass-fed New Zealand beef to complement spice mixtures with no artificial preservatives, colours, nitrates, MSG or ingredients you can’t pronounce. Bootleg jerky is painstakingly created in small batches by hand in our own purpose built facility in Auckland. Our recipes swap out the BS ingredients - preservatives and artificial flavours - for real ingredients blended perfectly to create unique and bold flavours. Our process is simple…meat + marinade + time (lots of time). Every piece of Bootleg Jerky starts off as part of a slab of prime NZ Beef delivered fresh each week. It’s then trimmed up and put through the slicer before being marinated for three days. From there, it’s pulled out of the baths, placed into our custom built drier and slow dried, it is then hand-cut into bite-sized pieces before being packaged. We have spent countless hours perfecting these recipes and processes to create what we think is the best jerky around, so get in on it before it is outlawed! Read their story
