{"product_id":"venison-jerky-stick-spicy","title":"Venison Jerky Stick — Spicy","description":"\u003cp\u003eReal heat, not a warm finish. If you've been disappointed by jerky that promised spicy and delivered a suggestion, start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeat that has somewhere to go\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVenison is lean and clean-flavored, which makes it a better base for heat than beef. There's no fat coating your palate and blunting the spice, so the burn arrives sooner and reads sharper. What's underneath is still recognizably venison — the heat sits on the meat rather than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is genuinely hot. Not a novelty-hot gimmick, but not gentle either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the venison comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade with grass-fed, pasture-raised venison from Pāmu Farms of New Zealand — one of the most respected farming operations in the world. Pāmu has been farming New Zealand land since 1886 and runs over 100 farms under formal animal welfare and environmental stewardship commitments, protecting more than 10,000 hectares for biodiversity alongside its livestock operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeople who order everything spicy.\u003c\/strong\u003e This will hold up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who wants heat that doesn't bury the meat.\u003c\/strong\u003e The venison is still there underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone bored of peppered.\u003c\/strong\u003e Same meat, considerably more going on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it's blended\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike every wild game meat we carry, this is blended with other meats. There's a regulatory reason as well as a practical one — venison isn't covered by mandatory USDA inspection the way beef and pork are, so blending is what brings the whole product under the federal stamp. It also gives the heat something to sit on; straight venison is too lean to carry this much spice well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardwood smoked in small batches at Zick's Specialty Meats in Michigan, a family smokehouse running the same recipes for over forty years.
