About Montecore Snacks Co., Ltd.
Montecore Snacks Co. Ltd. is a Thai owned and operated American-style beef and pork jerky manufacturer. Our jerky is produced under the ‘Highlands Jerky’ brand and is the best selling locally made American-Style jerky product. Our production facility, equipment, and production process is inspected and approved by the Food and Drug Administration of Thailand ensuring that our product is always processed in a safe and hygienic manner. Our meat is washed with carbon and UV filtered water and is dehydrated to have a water activity level(aw) of less that .75 making it shelf stable for well over half a year, satisfying the strictest of import requirements. Traditionally, jerky is sliced into thick pieces of meat that results in a product that is tough and, as the name suggests, “jerky”. Our R&D Department however have found that thinner strips of beef are more friendly to customers who may have trouble chewing, such as those over 65 years of age. Our jerky, therefore, still retains the traditional western taste of jerky but is easier to consume.
