SEATTLE — Founded by Michelin-trained chefs James Zamory, Aaron Saurer and Sean McDermott, meat snack brand Carnal announced the nationwide launch of two new products — Beef Sticks and Umami Cut Beef Jerky.

Carnal’s gourmet meat snack line premiered this year beginning with Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Sticks, followed by the new Umami Cut Jerky.

Carnal calls the Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Stick its hero product for raising the bar on portable indulgence with its rich, smoky flavor, clean snap and zero sugar formulation. The new Umami Cut Jerky seeks to build on that momentum, featuring high-quality cuts of beef infused with aged soy, fermented black garlic and spring black truffles, resulting in a savory chew with layered depth and a steak-like texture.

“With our Beef Sticks, we reimagined the everyday snack,” Zamory said. “With the jerky, we pushed even further. We treated it like any dish we'd create in our kitchen — balanced, deeply flavored and texturally memorable. Working with Aaron and Sean, we harnessed the umami punch of black garlic and black truffle and lifted them to new heights with a unique supporting cast of flavors not found in other meat snacks.”

Carnal has more product innovations on the horizon and is showcased its lineup at the Fancy Food Show in New York City, June 29 – July 1.
