 Tasty + Tender May 21, 2008

Like the [[Teriyaki Flavor]], The Mr. Z original flavor has a great taste. Unlike Jack Link's, the seasonings don't overpower the beef flavor and it's much more tender. It's a very tasty beef jerky but just like the [[Teriyaki Flavor]], it has MSG. If it didn't have MSG, I would have given it a full 5 stars.
Good Beef Jerky May 20, 2008

I liked this jerky. It's got a good flavor, the pieces are a nice size and texture, and it's from grass-fed beef (no organic claims, however). It's imported from Brazil. The price seems to be comparable with grocery store prices, although I liked it better than the typical grocery store brands. The original flavor is salty - no sweetness. The 4-oz bag is a good size to have - more than one snack, but it probably won't dry out before you eat it all.
The positives:
1. Grass fed beef
2. Good texture, not too hard
3. Mostly even strips of bite sized pieces, not too big or chunky
4. Good flavor
The negatives:
1. MSG
2. High sodium (not excessive compared to most beef jerky, but it's still a lot of salt)
3. A zipper top on the bag would be nice
Decent Jerky, but for me nothing special June 7, 2008

I have tried a few brands of beef jerky. Some better than others. For me, Mr. Z Premium Original flavor seems to be about average in terms of taste. If you are on a low sodium diet, stay away from this stuff though it's packed with it (as are most other brands of jerky).
A draw back for me, and a few others based on reading reviews, is the packaging. Once you open the bag there is no real way to close it. Putting a bag clip on it, a rubber band, or putting it in a baggie are about your only options. There is no plastic zipper in the bag which was a disappointment.
For a snack this wasn't too bad. It had a decent flavor but for me I could really taste the salt. The actual beef looked to be of petty good quality when compared to others as well. But in the end I wasn't amazed by the product but I also didn't dislike it either.
Not Bad, Not Great May 21, 2008

While I normally review books, today I'm reviewing a snack. Mr. Z Premium Beef Jerky. On the bag I note that this stuff is made from Brazilian grass-fed beef. It's high in protein, not so high in fat. So far, so good. And although the product contains a good dose of sodium it doesn't taste all that salty.
But, getting down to the eating, the product is not that great. It's extremely chewy, tough in fact, and not all that flavorful. If this were a book, I'd have to push myself to finish it. I've tasted better beef jerky than this. It comes in a bag that's not re-sealable, so you'll have to put it in the refrigerator between snacking sessions. And use one of those bag clips. It's okay if you're really looking for a snack to go with that thriller you just started, but, it could be better. Reviewed by Louis N. Gruber.
Our family of 4 split down the middle: 2 five-star... May 27, 2008

...and two 3-star - therefore the 4-star average. The ones that rated it 5-star liked the texture - moist and tender, not "cardboardy."
We sampled the "original" flavor not the teriyaki. The two that rated it 3-stars thought it rather ordinary, bland and needing more flavor.
It was pointed out that there was no locking device, or ziplock closure. Since it is a small bag it is a good size for a teen or boy on a hike, so we concluded that once it is opened you might as well eat it all :) A good healthy snack as opposed to junk-food. Thumbs up!
