The Carpathian Jerky — Sticks Range collection redefines the concept of artisanal sausages, merging traditional Romanian charcuterie with modern functional nutrition standards. Unlike classic jerky (made from whole raw muscle), these protein sticks undergo a dual thermal and biological process: the meat is first slow-cooked alongside spices for deep aromatic infusion, and only then controllably dehydrated to achieve a firm, predominantly crunchy texture (85-88%).
The result is a snack with extreme satiety (120g per package), delivering 37g of pure protein with sustained release. Our E-E-A-T commitment remains absolute: natural preservation, 100% sodium nitrite-free (E250), gluten-free and synthetic additive-free. It's the ideal calorie-dense fuel for endurance hiking, intense physical effort or rapid amino acid intake directly at the office.
