The pleasant fragrance of sweet maple and cherries waft through the air as soon as you open a package of Bulk Beef Jerky's Cherry Maple Smoked Beef Jerky. This moist and chewy dark brown jerky glows red when held to the light and has the feel of true Americana. Our Cherry Maple Smoked Beef Jerky is a tribute to the man who inspired the flavor combination. First president of the United States, George Washington. It is believed that cherries and maple were among his favorite foods. Soft and sweet, he was able to consume them with no problem even though he had constant dental pain. Did you know that George never really cut down his father's cherry tree? It was an anecdote created by biographer Parson Weems after Mr. Washington's death. The fable has never been proven to have taken place.
