The meat jerky originated on the tropical island of Cebu, Philippines. It is a traditional, secret, family TOCINO recipe passed down through the generations. The founders Malcolm and Lory brought the family jerky recipe to Brisbane, Australia and established, Mallorys Tocino Jerky. In the past, the traditonal cooking process involved hot charcoal, then to get that perfect dry texture the tocino jerky was dried on the rooftops in full view of the sun. Using modern processes and equipment, Lory and Malcolm have adapted and perfected the secret recipe. Our jerky is made of thin slices of lean raw meat, which is marinaded in a mixture of salty, sour and sweet ingredients. This adds the moist and pleasant bite of flavour. The jerky is marinated with Asian herbs and spices for 24 hours and is air dried, grilled and sealed for perfection.

WHY TOCINO JERKY, and not just JERKY? Tocino means bacon in Spanish. It is a high protein, no fat snack. (YES! No fat – because that hinders our preservation process) Our jerky has a long shelf life in an air tight seal and is best kept at room temperature. All of our jerky is 97% fat free, and is a great source of protein.
