How Stoney Point Premium Snacks Makes Our Private-Label Beef Jerky

Making mouth-watering beef jerky is no easy task. It requires a careful selection of high-quality cuts, a balanced marinade, and a drying and storing process that ensures the jerky is tender, flavorful, and safe to eat.

We divide our process into three phases: the raw side, the ready-to-eat (RTE) side, and our shipping and processing location down the road. At Stoney Point Premium Snacks, we provide expert guidance through every step of the process to ensure your jerky brand stands out in the marketplace.

Here’s a breakdown of how we craft our premium private-label beef jerky.

The Raw Side: From Meat to Marinade

We always start with selecting the best cuts of meat from local farms like 7 Hills Food Co. At Stoney Point Premium Snacks, we focus on using lean beef to ensure our jerky is satisfying and easy to chew without excess fat.

Once the beef is chosen, it’s time for the first crucial step: cutting the jerky. The meat is sliced into strips against the grain for a tender, tough traditional style. Whether you choose thin-sliced or thick-cut, we allow for even drying to ensure every bite is flavorful, tender, and satisfying.

Next, the meat is mixed with either one of our in-house marinades or one of the many specialty marinades created for our private-label jerky brands. These crafted marinade blends work together to create a savory, slightly sweet, and smoky profile, depending on the flavor being created. We encourage experimenting with flavors to create a unique and exciting jerky never seen before!

After the meat is marinated, it’s time to mix and tumble it, evenly distributing flavors that penetrate through the meat. Then, the jerky strips are hung by hand and placed into the smoker, where they are infused with rich, smoky flavor.

The Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Side: From Drying to Packaging

Once the jerky has been marinated and smoked, it moves to the process’s RTE (ready-to-eat) side. The next step is crucial for ensuring the jerky maintains the desired texture and flavor: cutting and measuring. The jerky is carefully sliced into the desired size and shape to match your brand’s specifications.

After the jerky is cut, it moves into the packaging phase, where each piece is sealed and packaged to maintain freshness. Whether you’re looking for single-serve packs or larger bulk packages, we can accommodate your brand’s needs.

Storing for Freshness

How you store your beef jerky is usually an overlooked step, but without proper storage, beef jerky is prone to spoilage. Exposure to oxygen can cause bacterial growth, mold, and a rancid taste. Jerky should be stored in airtight bags or containers that minimize oxygen exposure and preserve the jerky’s freshness for extended periods. You can learn more about this here.

At Stoney Point Premium Snacks, we emphasize the importance of correct storage throughout the entire production and shipping process, ensuring your private-label jerky maintains its peak flavor and texture.
