About Divine Bovine Jerky
Divine Bovine Jerky traces its story to a small village in southern Italy and a butcher named Franco, known to family and friends as “Pops.” Pops loved making jerky and experimented with different cuts and seasonings. He settled on brisket, which he found to be the sweetest and most tender cut for beef jerky. According to the brand, brisket had never been used for jerky before, and Pops’ version earned rave reviews. His grandson brought the family recipes to market under the Divine Bovine name, adding no nitrates, nitrites or MSG.
What makes Divine Bovine Jerky different
The process ties straight back to Pops’ brisket discovery. The beef starts with Wisconsin steer brisket, dry aged for 30 days and marinated for 24 hours in one of the brand’s sauce recipes. The turkey is fresh, never frozen, hand-sliced breast, and the bacon is uncured and described as non-GMO; both get the same dry age and marinade. The brand states no artificial coloring, no artificial preservatives, no added nitrates and no added MSG, and each foil-lined pouch is rated for a minimum of 14 months of freshness.
Divine Bovine Jerky flavors we carry
The beef is thin-sliced Wisconsin brisket, and the marinades run from mild to fiery. The original is a mild savory blend with a hint of garlic and a light topping of black pepper. The teriyaki builds on gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple, ginger and garlic, alongside our other teriyaki beef jerky brands; its hot version adds the fire of chili peppers and is billed as wild, fiery hot. The jalapeño pairs spicy jalapeño with a kick of cayenne, so compare it with our jalapeño beef jerky selection or browse the full beef jerky collection.
The same four marinades go onto hand-sliced turkey breast, filed with our other turkey jerky options. The bacon is its own thing: sweet and smoky apple and maple flavors with ground pepper, a slightly sweet mesquite-and-hickory-flavored barbecue with a little kick from ginger and cayenne, and a garlicky-sweet sriracha with cayenne and ginger, with our other bacon jerky picks. Everything currently in stock is in the grid above.
Who it’s for
The manufacturer describes the original and teriyaki as mild; if you want heat, the jalapeño and hot teriyaki are the ones it calls spicy and fiery. The chew comes from thin-sliced brisket, a cut Pops chose for tenderness. The brand states its jerky is gluten free and uses gluten-free soy sauce in the teriyaki marinades, so those flavors contain soy. Marinades differ by flavor, so check each bag’s label for the full ingredient list.
