Founded by Michelin-trained chefs James Zamory, Aaron Saurer, and Sean McDermott – alumni of celebrated kitchens like Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad – Carnal first made waves in 2014 at Brooklyn's iconic Smorgasburg. In 2020, the brand brought that same primal, flavor-forward philosophy across the country to Bellingham, Wash., opening the acclaimed Carnal restaurant. This year, the team launched Carnal's gourmet meat snack line as a portable extension of their culinary roots, beginning with Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Sticks and followed by the new Umami Cut Jerky.

Carnal's hero product, the Black Truffle & Black Garlic Beef Stick, raised the bar for portable indulgence with its rich, smoky flavor, clean snap, and zero sugar formulation. The new Umami Cut Jerky builds on that legacy, featuring high-quality cuts of beef infused with aged soy, fermented black garlic, and spring black truffle. The result is a decadent, savory chew with layered depth and a steak-like texture.
