🍖 Description
Avuco (also known as Anh Vu) spicy dried beef jerky, 87 g, is a Vietnamese meat snack made from beef that has been marinated in a spicy mixture and then dried. The result is an intense, chewy meat treat with a spicy kick — ideal as a snack with a beer, on a hike, whilst travelling or watching sport. Products from this brand are often sold in Asian shops and have a distinctive flavour inspired by south-eastern recipes.

🔥 Character and flavour

• Flavour: a distinctive hot and spicy combination of chilli, garlic and ginger, with subtle sweet and salty notes from the marinade, which brings out the flavour of the beef.

• Texture: chewy yet still tender pieces of dried meat — the classic jerky consistency, which isn’t as hard as dried skin but is pleasant to chew.

• Heat level: spicy thanks to the chilli ingredients — suitable for lovers of spicier snacks.

🧾 Ingredients and allergens

• Main ingredients: beef, sugar, ginger, lemongrass, chilli, garlic, flavour enhancer (E621), salt, colouring (E110) and turmeric.

• Allergens: the product may contain traces of allergens due to the manufacturing process — I always recommend checking the label on the packaging.
