{"product_id":"venison-jerky-stick-teriyaki","title":"Venison Jerky Stick — Teriyaki","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe one that converts people. If someone tells you they don't like venison, this is what you hand them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy teriyaki and venison work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTeriyaki is sweet and salty at once, and both do useful things to deer meat. The salt draws the depth forward; the sweetness rounds off the mineral edge that puts some people off. What's left is recognizably venison, just easier to like on the first bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's restrained rather than candied — sweet-savory, not sticky. If you've had teriyaki jerky that tasted like a glazed doughnut, this isn't that.\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\u003cp\u003eGrass-fed matters more here than anywhere else in the range. The cleaner base flavor is what keeps the teriyaki from having to work so hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVenison skeptics.\u003c\/strong\u003e This has the highest conversion rate of anything in the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKids.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet enough to read as a treat, no heat at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone building a variety pack.\u003c\/strong\u003e Different enough from peppered and mild to earn its own slot.\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 fixes a real problem: deer is extremely lean, and straight venison makes a dry stick.\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. No MSG. No fillers.
