First time trying pemmican
We've never had this before so I don't have anything to compare it to. The taste and texture wasn't to anyone's liking but we might just be spoiled Americans that don't 'have' to rely on survival food :)
It's edible. Just not delicious (or maybe there's something we were supposed to do with it other than just 'eat it')

Not my Cup of Tea
I had been wanting to try Wellness pemmican for a long time, as it was recommended to me by others. I was expecting to like it; however, this was definitely not for me. The first time, I felt like I was eating reconstituted fat, with a little beef flavoring. The texture, more than the flavor, made me gag. I made myself eat another one, hoping to get used to the texture, but that didn't work. I will try to give the rest away, as I will not be able to eat them, even though I'm sure they are good for me.
USWM- Thank you for taking time to write a review on our product! We are truly very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our product. This is truly one of those products that are not for everyone. You either love the product or you hate it. It is just how you described it basically, it is fat with jerky in it. Our regular bars also contain honey and cherry to give them a little more flavor and sweetness. Some customers like to put it in a skillet and fry their eggs or vegetables in it. Again, we are truly very sorry for the disappointment.
Best wishes,
The US Wellness Meats Team

Sustaining & convenient
I have been buying this pemmican for quite a while. My kids love it. It's very convenient for pack lunches and sustaining on long hikes.

pemmican
I eat the pemmican as a pick me up mid morning while at work. It staves off hunger and for me is tasty and satisfying.

It's "challenging"
I agree with Emily. I'm tolerant, brave, easy. I've been accused of having no taste buds. I dig this whole company, and the regular cuts and the Braunsweiger and Liverwurst, oh my--they're heavenly. Don't judge the others by these. These are the Least likely to be mindlessly overeaten snacks I've ever had. Buy a small number. See for yourself. Maybe I'm a wimp, but I've even enjoyed the "lamb oysters."
USWM- Thank you for taking time to leave a review on our product. We are truly very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our Beef Pemmican, we realize this product is not for everyone. I'm a texture person, so to eat the bar I do not care for it. However I do like to put it in a skillet and cook my eggs or vegetables in it. I think it gives them an amazing taste that way. We are glad to hear that you love some of our other products, thank you for the kind words. Warm regards, The US Wellness Meats Team

As expected
It is beef fat and ground jerkey; It is not going to taste like donuts and crunch like Fruit Loops. It is going to taste and feel like a mouthful of beef fat and ground jerkey.

This is Real Pemmican
For people not used to the taste of TRUE animal fat the taste can take some getting used to. Personally I prefer it cold. But pemmican is a prized food and has been for centuries. There are a number of health benefits. With the quality of animal protein and fat used in this, this might be the absolute best pemmican you can find next to making your own.

Sad when I run out!
I was introduced to this pemmican over a decade ago. It was mostly out of curiosity that I tried it, but it was also recommended to me by a friend as I was pregnant and had a hard time keep food down. I found that I truly enjoyed it! I craved it then, and I still crave it now! I believe it is filled with many nutrients that we simply do not normally get in our American diets.
The bars are so convenient to store in the freezer and then grab one on the go. I actually prefer the texture when they are at least partially frozen.

This isn't pemmican.
These were basically tubes of tallow, (you can tell by the color), with little to no jerky and cherries, that are easy or convenient to eat.

The BEST
Best pemmican ever!
If you're not fat-adapted or used to it, it might not be what you're expecting. But this is a true power house of energy and is perfec, whether you chose this one or the salt free.
Thank goodness for US Wellness meats!!!!

Hmmm... Mmmmmmmm!!!
Okay yes, this is an acquired taste (regular version w/all ingredients) - but I acquired it in about 5 minutes! It is a new taste and consistency to me, and I am sold. It's like my whole body knows it is good real food, not just a matter of taste in the mouth. The only bad news is that I ordered only one bar to try, and so will have to wait til my next order to stock up! Thank you, US Wellness Meats! Also so interesting (maybe on the blog or some FAQ) about how you have a kind of unique version of pemmican w/a bit more moisture than some. I look forward to trying out frying eggs or cooking sthg else with it as well!

Eat more than 1
I agree with most of the low star ratings... at first. It is a taste and texture that is not all that appetizing in the beginning. But I bought a bunch and I wasn't going to just toss them. The more I ate the better they tasted and the more my body craved one after a workout. One thing that helped me is eating them straight out of the freezer, I'm still not a fan of these defrosted.

Sorry for sounding ignorant.
Hello, I bought some Pemmican. I am new to this.
HOW DO YOU EAT IT?
Just thaw them out, cut the casing open, and
squeeze the stuff out cold?
Help!

Use Blueberries
Goes well with a bowl of wild blueberries. A spoon of blueberries than a bite of the pemmican. Repeat until gone :-)

Fantastic!
I had no idea what to expect, being 40 and only trying this for the first time. The texture was a little strange at first but then it grew on me and I love it. Perfect for long hikes, with the combination of flavors and a fatty base that I know kept me satiated. I would highly recommend.
