The 4 Best-Selling Savory Wild Portabella Jerky Flavors You Should Try
Giorgio Foods has provided high-quality mushrooms to households across the nation for three generations. In the late 2010s, recognizing the rising popularity of meat alternatives and vegan jerky, they saw a unique opportunity to transform their delicious portabella mushrooms into a savory vegan jerky snack, and created
Savory Wild Portabella Jerky.
The Giorgio Foods story starts in 1923 when Pietro and Elvira Giorgi left Italy and sailed across the Atlantic to begin a new life in Temple, Pennsylvania. By 1928, they had established their first mushroom growing house, supplying fresh mushrooms to the local community. The 1930s and 1940s saw their business expand, shipping fresh mushrooms to major east-coast cities via refrigerated rail.
In 1960, the Giorgis and their children formed two corporations: Giorgi Mushroom Co. for mushroom cultivation and Giorgio Foods, Inc. for processing canned and jarred mushrooms. This marked the start of a long-standing tradition of producing the highest quality mushrooms. The company's growth continued over the decades, and in 2001 they created Giorgio Fresh Co., which packages fresh mushrooms to meet the increasing demand for fresh produce in the U.S. market. Today, Giorgio Fresh is one of the largest packers of fresh mushrooms in the country.
With decades of expertise in mushroom cultivation and processing, Giorgio Foods was perfectly positioned to create a new and exciting vegan mushroom jerky:
Savory Wild Portabella Jerky. They hand-picked from the portabella mushrooms that they’ve been growing for nearly a century, sliced and marinated them in their chef-created recipes, then dried them in small batches.
In 2018 they launched their first vegan jerky flavors: Sesame, Ginger & Korean Chili, Sweet Balsamic & Golden Fig, and Roasted Garlic & Black Pepper. They quickly gained popularity among vegans, vegetarians, and mushroom enthusiasts alike.
These four flavors are available to order from
