What Does Wild Boar Jerky Taste Like?
Like pork with the volume turned up. Wild boar is darker and more flavorful than farm pork, and the Trophy Series cure of bourbon, brown sugar and maple syrup gives it a sweet, smoky finish with a little barrel warmth.
Boar versus bacon jerky
Bacon jerky is salty, smoky and fatty. Boar is leaner and sweeter, with more of the meat's own flavor coming through. Both are pork; they do not taste alike.
