ABOUT US

Meet Malcolm and Lory

Mallorys Jerky originated on the tropical island of Cebu, in the Philippines, from a traditional tocino recipe passed down through the family for generations.

Company owners Malcolm and Lory (Mal-lory) spent years perfecting this time-honoured recipe to create the best tasting meat snack in the Southern Hemisphere.

In 2014, Lory and Malcolm made their handcrafted jerky available to the public when they founded Mallorys Jerky in Queensland.

Using locally sourced, grain-fed meat from their company headquarters in Narangba, Queensland, they started making new flavours with different types of meat, including Australia’s first ever chicken jerky.

Now, Mallory’s Jerky is available at local shops across Brisbane, Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast, including IGA, FoodWorks and a wide range of specialty grocers.

We also carry Safe Food Accreditation (#123168000) in Australia.

But, it’s not all about us

What we really love at Mallorys Jerky is hearing how much our customers love our small batch, handcrafted jerky.  That’s why you can find us at outdoor markets in Eumundi, Caboolture, Carseldine and many more. Come say hello and try our jerky for yourself!

We want our jerky to reach as many mouths as possible.  That’s why we’re always ready to talk with new companies who want to put Mallorys Jerky in their shop and we ship our marinade rubs and jerky all over Australia through our online store.

Origins of our jerky

Tocino [ toh-see-noh ] is the Spanish word for bacon. It was introduced to the Philippines when Spanish ships arrived in the 16th century.

Unlike traditional tocino, which is cut into cubes, the Filipino version sliced pork belly into thin strips and cured it with their own special methods.

 

In days gone by tocino was cooked over hot charcoal, then laid out on rooftops for hours under the sun to dry out and form its texture.

These days, Lory and Malcom use modern professional food processing equipment and perfected techniques to adapt their secret traditional recipe they brought from the Philippines.

Mallorys Jerky starts with thin slices of lean, raw meat and is cured with a mix of salty, sour and sweet ingredients to give it that pleasant bite, but keep the moisture in the meat.  After being marinated in herbs and spices for 24 hours, it’s then air dried, grilled and sealed for the most perfect jerky you’ll ever eat!

 

 

And, it’s 97% fat free

That’s right!  Mallorys Jerky uses extra lean meat that has almost no fat. Too much fat hinders our special preservation process.  The low amount of fat also helps keep our jerky fresh for longer.  If stored in an airtight container at room temperature, Mallorys Jerky can last for ages! Follow best-before dates on the jerky pack as a guide for how long it can be kept.

 

We have the ideal healthy snack for every occasion!  Road trips, after the gym, hiking, wine tasting, in the kid’s lunchbox or as a party snack.  Celebrate great taste with Mallorys Jerky.
