I just got a “kare” package: a bundle of gourmet, flavored jerky from Krave Jerky, a Sonoma, CA based company.  Their focus is on producing unique, savory flavors in turkey, pork, and beef jerky.

The Kare Pack included a sampling of their flavors and proteins: Chili Lime Beef, Smoky Grilled Teriyaki Pork, and Basil Citrus Turkey just to name a few.

I asked the street team that delivered the kare pack (thanks again for the personal service) what would be some good beverages to pair with their jerky.

With Cinco de Mayo coming up, tequila was quickly recommended to enjoy with the Chili Lime beef; a Chardonnay was suggested for the Smoky Grilled Teriyaki.

I’m thinking a nice pina colada would go well with the Pineapple Orange Beef jerky and I’d definitely put an ice cold beer with the Black Cherry Barbecue Pork jerky.

Black Cheery Barbecue Pork jerky could be a favorite for BBQ and Beer lovers

With a wide range of flavors and proteins, interest in Krave Jerky is growing .  It’s a portable, healthy snack (they provide nutrition comparisons on their website) that’s easily accessible.

Krave Jerky is available in South Bay Vons, Pavillion, and Beverages & More locations.  You can find an outlet near you via their shop locator.
