I met the team from Vermont Smoke & Cure at Sweets & Snacks in 2017. I’ve been a big fan and have kept up with them through the years. At this year’s Sweets & Snacks, they debuted two collab beef sticks with some very famous condiments – A1 and Lea and Perrins. Collabs were all the rage at Sweets & Snacks and this is a good one!
Vermont Smoke & Cure got its start in 1962 in South Barre, Vermont. For the next 50 years, we operated in a farmhouse and then in the back of a gas station. In 2006, Chris Bailey, a farmer, chef and former US team cyclist took over and renamed the business Vermont Smoke & Cure. Chris brought a modern approach to recipes, processing techniques. They rebranded in 2015 and expanded product lines and were purchased by Johnsonville in 2020.
All products maintain Vermont Smoke & Cure’s commitment to quality. All meats are free from antibiotics and added hormones and contain no artificial colors, preservatives or flavors. The products are crafted in small batches, slow-cooked for over 18 hours, and smoked with real hardwood chips. They are also free from major allergens including gluten, milk, eggs, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and soy.
These collab meat sticks have are unique with unmistakable flavors you’ll recognize:
