Konvict Jerky: A Refined Take on Tradition, Flavour, and Wagyu Excellence

For those with a refined palate and an eye for provenance, Konvict Jerky delivers a gourmet experience that redefines luxury snacking.

If you’re heading to Perth Upmarket on Sunday, 15th June, one of the must-visit stalls to look out for is Konvict Jerky. 

For those with a refined palate and an eye for provenance, Konvict Jerky delivers a gourmet experience that redefines luxury snacking. This is no ordinary jerky — it’s a handcrafted indulgence, born from dedication, transformed through quality, and elevated with the kind of finesse usually reserved for fine dining.

Founded by Benny Tilbury, Konvict Jerky is the result of a personal reinvention. In 2021, Benny embarked on a health journey, adopting a carnivore diet in pursuit of better wellbeing. But while the benefits were clear, the lack of flavourful, clean options left much to be desired. Store-bought jerky was full of GMOs, sugars, and preservatives — so Benny took matters into his own hands.

What started in his home kitchen soon became a full-fledged small business. Fast forward to today, Benny is 48kg lighter, significantly healthier, and running an award-winning brand recognised with multiple Perth Royal Food Awards — including gold and champion titles.

Australian Full-Blood Wagyu: The Foundation of Luxury

At the core of Konvict Jerky’s reputation is a commitment to the finest ingredients. Every batch begins with luxury A5 Wagyu beef, boasting a marbling score of 9+, sourced from Stone-Axe Full Blood Australian Wagyu. These cattle are ethically raised on open pastures — producing beef renowned for its richness, tenderness, and exceptional flavour.

Rather than masking the quality with excessive spices, Benny’s marinades and seasoning blends are designed to complement the natural character of the Wagyu. It’s a considered approach — and one that truly sets Konvict Jerky apart.

The New Standard in Gourmet Gifting

Konvict Jerky is more than a premium snack — it’s a statement. Whether presented as a corporate gift, nestled into a luxury hamper, or offered as a refined alternative on your next grazing table, each pack speaks volumes about taste, detail, and distinction.

From its luxurious packaging to the meticulous sourcing of A5 Wagyu and rare black truffle, Konvict Jerky is crafted for those who appreciate the art of fine food. And with offerings like the 23-karat gold-dusted truffle jerky, it becomes not just a treat, but a talking point — an experience to be unwrapped and remembered.

This is where culinary craft meets prestige. Elevated. Handcrafted. Unapologetically indulgent.

Flavours You’ll Want to Come Back For

Here’s a taste of what you can expect at Konvict Jerky’s stall at Perth Upmarket:

• Premium Black Truffle with Sea Salt and 23-Karat Edible Gold Flakes – Earthy black truffle is enhanced by delicate flakes of Australian sea salt — then finished with genuine 23-karat edible gold. 
• Black Truffle with Australian Sea Salt Flakes– A beautifully restrained expression of flavour. The richness of black truffle meets the briny elegance of locally harvested sea salt. 

• Maple Habanero – A sweet and spicy favourite with a kick, quickly balanced by smooth maple. Gold medal winner at RASWA 2023. Heat Score: 5/10.

• The Gut Twister – Not for the faint-hearted. This extreme chilli flavour is 18+ only and has earned a Bronze medal at RASWA. Heat level: Off the charts.

• Maple Coffee Charcoal – A showstopper with subtle maple coffee notes and activated charcoal. This unique blend won Gold and Champion of Show at the Perth Royal Food Awards.

Each flavour has been designed with intention—to create a jerky experience that’s both indulgent and purposeful. It’s the kind of product you can gift, savour, or secretly stash away for yourself.
