Carnal Launches Nationwide
The brand is setting a new standard for portable indulgence with bold beef sticks and savory jerky.
Introducing Michelin-Crafted Snacks
Carnal, a chef-driven meat snack brand, is officially unveiling its gourmet offerings across the nation, featuring its signature Beef Sticks and the new Umami Cut Beef Jerky.
A Culinary Journey
Founded by Michelin-trained chefs James Zamory, Aaron Saurer, and Sean McDermott – alumni of celebrated kitchens like Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad – Carnal made its debut at a popular food market and later expanded with a renowned restaurant. This year, they introduced their gourmet meat snacks, beginning with Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Sticks, followed by the Umami Cut Jerky.
Passion for Flavor
“Carnal originated as a food stall inspired by our obsession for primal flavors,” expressed partner Skip Williamson. “We are thrilled to carry that same spirit into our restaurant and now deliver Michelin-level craft to everyday snacks.”
Elevated Snacking Experiences
Carnal's signature item, the Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Stick, sets a high bar for portable indulgence with its rich flavor profile, satisfying snap, and zero sugar formulation. The new Umami Cut Jerky elevates that legacy, featuring premium cuts of beef infused with aged soy, fermented black garlic, and spring black truffle, creating a delightful, savory chew with unparalleled depth.
Culinary Craft Meets Accessibility
Chef James Zamory stated, “With our Beef Sticks, we reimagined the everyday snack. With the Jerky, we pushed the boundaries even further. We approached it just like any dish in our restaurant – balanced, deeply flavorful, and texturally stunning. Collaborating with Aaron and Sean, we extracted the umami essence of black garlic and truffle and showcased them with a unique blend of flavors absent from typical meat snacks.”
Future Innovations on the Horizon
Carnal is committed to further product innovations and will showcase their existing lineup at an upcoming food exposition. This participation marks an opportunity to connect with enthusiasts and retailers passionate about gourmet snacks.
