This Jerky is more of a traditional style New England Jerky, smoked the old fashioned way with real hickory logs and then flavored with maple syrup that could only come from the Vermont maple trees that have made New England Maple Syrup the envy of the world. You will love the smell, subtle taste and feel the northern woods with every chew. As with all Allagash Black products, this version is made only from top round steak with hardly any fat. Just like its other family members, it is the highest quality Jerky you will ever enjoy.
