This is the The Dorrigo Butcher Premium Dorrigo Beef Jerky Louisiana Chilli. This award-winning jerky has earned multiple accolades: silver in the 2023 and 2024 Sydney Fine Food Awards; gold in the 2022 and 2023 Tasmanian Fine Food Awards; and bronze in both 2021 and 2024 Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.
The pieces varied in size, ranging from 1.5 × 6 cm strips to 2 × 8 cm rectangles, each approximately 0.3 cm thick. The texture was notably dry and brittle, snapping cleanly by hand. On the palate, the spice began with a mellow heat that gradually intensified into a bold, lingering burn. This remained within a tolerable range, allowing the underlying beef richness to shine. A well-developed savoury profile emerged through layers of garlic and onion spice, supported by a gentle smoky undertone.
Overall, decorated, full-flavoured jerky with bold spice and strong beef character, well-suited to those who prefer a dry, snappable texture. Greater moisture would have added chew and depth
