The Top 5 Flavoured Jerky Varieties You Need to Try

Not all jerky is created equal. These flavoured favourites from 3099 Jerky pack serious punch, each bringing its own attitude to the table.

1. Chilli Beef Jerky

Chilli Beef Jerky delivers the perfect balance of fire and flavour. It brings a slow, satisfying heat that builds gradually while still allowing the rich, savoury beef to shine. The smoky undertones round it out beautifully, making it ideal for anyone who loves spice with substance. 

Enjoy it alongside a cold drink, a bold cheddar, or straight from the pack. If you like snacks that bite back without being overwhelming, this one brings the heat and keeps you reaching for more.

2. Smokey BBQ Jerky

Smokey BBQ Jerky tastes like a Sunday barbecue packed into a bag. It is rich, deeply savoury and finished with a subtle sweetness that lingers just enough. The flavour is inspired by slow-cooked meats, full of that signature smokiness and charred depth. 

It is perfect for fans of barbecue ribs, flame-grilled meats or just bold snacks with serious personality. Whether you are on the road or relaxing at home, this jerky delivers big, satisfying flavour in every single bite.

3. Teriyaki Beef Jerky

Teriyaki Beef Jerky offers a crowd-pleasing mix of sweet and savoury with smooth umami flavour throughout. Its soy-based marinade is soft and balanced, making it ideal for those who prefer a more subtle snack without losing taste. 

This variety works well on its own or as a sidekick to noodles, rice or even salads. It is approachable, easy to love, and full of flavour that lingers gently. If you are new to jerky or prefer a gentler bite, this is a perfect place to start.

4. Salt and Vinegar Jerky

Salt and Vinegar Jerky is sharp, bold and anything but ordinary. It combines that familiar vinegar tang with the richness of quality beef, creating a snack that is punchy, satisfying and full of attitude. This is not your average jerky flavour. 

It pairs beautifully with creamy dips, cold drinks or even on its own when you want something zesty. The contrast between acidic and savoury is what makes it so addictive. If you love bold snacking and sharp flavour, this one delivers every time.

5. Garlic Beef Jerky

Garlic Beef Jerky is strong, savoury and packed with roasted garlic flavour from the first bite. It is made for true garlic lovers who are not afraid of big, unapologetic taste. This variety shines on grazing boards, next to a glass of red wine or simply as a flavour-loaded snack when you are craving something serious. 

It is earthy, aromatic and rich without being overpowering. If you believe garlic makes everything better, this jerky is the ultimate snack with bite and depth.

How to Choose the Right Flavoured Jerky for You

With five bold flavours to choose from, picking the right jerky is all about knowing your taste, your vibe, and when you’ll be snacking. Here’s how to find your perfect match.

1. Know Your Flavour Preference

Start by matching flavour to mood. Chilli brings the heat without overpowering. Smokey BBQ is all about rich, smoky comfort. Teriyaki is great for subtle sweet-savoury balance. Garlic goes big on boldness, while Salt and Vinegar delivers sharp, tangy contrast for snackers who like to shake things up.

2. Match It with What You Drink

Jerky and drinks go hand in hand. Pair Chilli with crisp lager for balance, or match Smokey BBQ with a dark ale. Red wine works beautifully with Garlic, while Salt and Vinegar thrives next to a dry cider. Let your drink guide your jerky vibe and snack like a pro.

3. Think About When You’ll Snack

Different flavours suit different settings. Chilli and Smokey BBQ pair well with bold cheeses or drinks. Garlic is great for grazing boards, while Salt and Vinegar cuts through creamy dips. Teriyaki is ideal for lighter moments when you want something satisfying without too much intensity.
