Louisville Vegan Jerky Company was started in my home kitchen back in 2012. Having spent some time in Oahu as a child, I was craving manapua. Using my mom's old recipe, I substituted baked soy for the pork and popped my seasoned protein in the oven. I was busy preparing the dough and chatting with friends when the smell of chargrilled meat hit my nose. "Toe-y!" I screamed at my three-legged dog, Tofu "I forgot to set a timer!" The barbequed soy protein was overdone, super chewy, and absolutely delicious. Tofu agreed. I headed straight to the local bar where I passed around bags of my newly discovered jerky to a full patio of hip Louisville beer drinkers. Within minutes, everyone was as excited as I was. They devoured the fortuitous first batch and asked for more. Where could they buy it? What was it called? And the best part...none of them even knew it was vegan. Today, Louisville Vegan Jerky is sold in stores all over America, but we still make each bag the same old way- in small batches, by hand, and with freshly sourced Kentucky ingredients. It's a difference you can taste, and a cruelty-free, American-made product that we're proud to call our own. One bite and you'll agree, fake has never tasted so real. So grab something to drink and join us, there's plenty to go around.

08-03-2026LVJCO makes the best vegan jerky. I've tried others and they taste bad and are hard to chew. Of all the flavors LVJCO makes, Smoked Black Pepper is my favorite. It's as close to a Slim Jim as I can get.

08-03-2026I got the smoke black pepper flavor and it's just alright. It's definitely not the texture of tradition jerky. It's softer and overall easier to eat, which isn't a negative, it just doesn't last as long in your mouth as other jerky. I kind of wish it was dried out more or something to make it more chewy. There's a strong taste of soy sauce and black pepper, which makes complete sense. There's not a single speck of the garlic, brown sugar onion or other spices listed in the ingredients. It just tastes like you're eating soy sauce and black pepper. It says it has a natural smoke flavor, but there's a slight aftertaste similar to liquid smoke. I'll probably end up trying one or two other flavors since I'm trying to find a good replacement for Beyond Jerky (rip babe) So far I'm not impressed. The texture and flavor are nowhere near what I was expecting.

08-03-2026I’m not even vegan, but this stuff? Addictive. The smoky flavor is legit — chewy, savory, and just enough spice to keep you reaching back for “one more piece.” My only complaint: the bag disappears too fast. Even my meat-loving friends were like, “Wait… this is vegan?” Yup. And it’s awesome.

08-03-2026I love these, but the amount of sodium is kind of crazy and increased my blood pressure. So sad. I will probably still buy it, however (itstgat goid), and just be more careful.
