The Beef Jerky Guide by Ben Jacobs
Ben Jacobs
Ben Jacobs, founder of SimpleJerky, draws his inspiration from childhood memories of traditional, family-run shops in rural Northwestern Connecticut, USA. It was there that his love for authentic beef jerky began, which he now brings to life with great care in Austria.
The idea for SimpleJerky originated after an adventure in the mountains of California, where Ben discovered an old jerky recipe that became the foundation of his vision: real, handmade beef jerky of high quality and in many delicious flavors.
