This jerky is like none other. I can't recommend it enough. In fact, be careful if you're prone to additions because this will be your new one. It is so crispy and delicious! So far I've tried the black pepper, mild spicy and medium spicy. I love them all and usually finish a whole bag in one sitting. I'm having to learn to pace myself because this stuff isn't cheap. I will say however, that the medium spicy can get HOT. I thought I liked everything hot and only bought medium so my husband could enjoy too, because he doesn't like hot...but baby, I had a bite of the medium that was SO HOT it made me feel like my mouth and lips were on fire.
