What makes Carpathian Jerky different

The recipes start from a short ingredient list — Original Beef is beef, salt and pepper, nothing else. No nitrites, no gluten, no preservatives, no added sugar. The meat is sourced in Romania and slow-dried at low temperature, which is what leaves 25–38.5 g of protein in a 50 g bag.

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain — each with its own local storefront and currency. Germany is served from de.carpathianjerky.com, Italy from it.carpathianjerky.com, Spain from es.carpathianjerky.com and Hungary from hu.carpathianjerky.com.
