Vermont Smoke & Cure Meat Sticks Review and GIVEAWAY!

 

Welcome to A Sampling Bee! Today, I share with you Vermont Smoke & Cure Meat Sticks! Vermont Smoke & Cure has been crafting delicious smoked meats(bacon!!) and meat snacks since 1962. These meat sticks are made in small batches and are proudly made in Vermont. Their recipes have changed minimally in the 50+ years that they have been making their products. Vermont Smoke & Cure's method is to keep things simple, local and flavorful. I got to sample 3 of their meat stick flavors: Spicy Italian, Cracked Pepper and Ancho Pepper.

 

Vermont Smoke & Cure uses responsibly sourced meats and local ingredients like maple syrup, apple cider and spices to make their meat sticks. Their meat sticks are made from certified humanely raised meats. The meats do not contain any MSG, eggs, fish or shellfish, gluten and no tree nuts or peanuts. Each and every bite of Vermont Smoke & Cure's Meat Sticks are full of robust flavors including smoke, cider, maple, salt and pure meat. As a company, they believe in Better Meat for All®.

Vermont Smoke & Cure also offers bacon, ham and sausage. They smoke using ground corn cobs and maple wood shavings. They never use any liquid or artificial smoke. The traditional smoke sources are from Vermont. The meats are all hand trimmed and grinded on-site. The uncured items use natural preservatives to ensure food safety. In the Sticks and Summer Sausage, instead of just adding acids, they ferment to lower pH the old-school way for the best flavor.

My Thoughts

I love the fact that Vermont Smoke & Cure's pork, beef and chicken is raised without antibiotics. Nowadays, everything we consume is full of yucky stuff. So, it's nice to know that I can feel good about feeding these meat sticks to my family. With that said, my family LOVES them. Including my 2 year old son. Vermont Smoke & Cure's Meat Sticks are great! They're very flavorful and not overly salty. I can taste the unique difference between the 3 flavors of meat sticks. But, my favorite is the Spicy Italian. The meat sticks aren't hard to bite or chew. They meat is tender and moist. A great snack for road trips, school lunches and mid-day snacks. I love eating Vermont Smoke & Cure's Meat Sticks with cheese and crackers. I just cut up the meat sticks into small chunks! I cannot wait to try their bacon, sausage and ham! I highly recommend Vermont Smoke & Cure products!

I received free products in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. Always!
