Old Santa Fe Trail Jerky Review

This afternoon, my family and I will get the opportunity to try some Jerky from Albuquerque, NM. The company is Old Santa Fe Trail Beef Jerky. And thanks to them, we get to try out five different types of jerky they make.

This is the story of how Old SantaFe Trail Beef Jerky, began. Old Santa Fe Trail Beef Jerky received its start in 1988, when founder and CEO Matthew Chavez began producing true New Mexico beef (carne seca) on a meat market he co-owned with his brother and sister-in-law in the Albuquerque North Valley.

It was around this period that Matthew created four basic recipes that they still use today: original, peppery, green chili and red chili. The juicy, hand-crafted beef jerky, was a huge hit, and soon distributors all over New Mexico were placing bulk orders to distribute it in their markets.

What the company produce's is Authentic New Mexico Beef Jerky, that is on RT. 66, and has done so for over 30 years!

So now that the family is settled in for our Saturday, thriller movie, we will begin to taste the products received today.

First, is the Old Santa Fe Trail Original Beef Jerky. The Jerky is preservative free, has no sugar, and all the ingredients are natural. So in every bite you know you are getting true homemade products that everyone can enjoy. The jerky is sliced then, it is not greasy at all, soft and very easy to chew. Each bite you take, you get the taste of how premium the beef was that was used for the jerky. It's a great texture, and a very natural tasting jerky. And I love the package, it gives you the feel of the old west.

Next chunk to taste is the Green Chile Jerky. Right through the package you can see the thin slices, and loads of seeds from the green Chile's. The company use's Deliciously, delicious beef with fiery green chilies raised in the Hatch Valley of Southern New Mexico, recognized as Chile's Capital of the World. The ingredients are simple and all natural, and the taste is fantastic. The texture of the jerky has a slight crunch to it, but while eating gets rehydrated right in your mouth. The taste is very clean, and fresh, and there is that green chile flavor in each bite taken.

The jerky is a great grab and go snack that everyone will love.

We are now going to take a strip of the black pepper jerky from the Old Santa Fe trail company. This jerky is a little more crisp then the others, but nothing over bearing to chew. It's a nice flavor of salt and pepper, and taste like a beef you would cook in your own oven, very flavorful. As the other two jerky's, the ingredients are nothing but natural. When you hear black pepper, you may think the taste is going to be strong. However for this jerky, the black pepper used was very well balanced. It has a very amazing taste to it. The jerky is very easy to eat, doesn't crumble, but still on the crisp side. Just plain old simple ingredients, and a great protein snack.

I am excited to try the redchile teriyaki jerky, looking forward to tasting the combo of the east flavor meeting the southwest flavor.

For this jerky the company did a combo of authentic teriyaki marinade, with some spicy red chiles. With each bite you will experience a very tasty, kick on your taste buds. You can see the chile seeds on every piece of the jerky, which gives a red tint to it. The slices are thin, chewable, and semi crisp. You get the sweet from the teriyaki, and the slight kick from the red chiles. The ingredients for this flavor are very well balanced, added perfectly, and has very intense flavors.

As for the last strip, we will be trying the red chile beef jerky. This was much more spicier than the others, You get the real taste of a pure New Mexico Jerky. In each bite you taste the spicy red chiles that made up this batch of jerky. Still thin slices, with a semi crisp texture. Over all the flavor of the jerky is robust to say the least.

These are great made in the U.S.A jerky products. So if you would like to try them for yourself, you can order them online.
