A Beloved Montana Product Gets a Delicious New Twist
Montanans know Alpine Touch is more than a seasoning, it’s a lifestyle. Since 1959, this local brand has been adding a little bit of magic to our meals, making it a staple in every kitchen throughout Big Sky Country. But now, Alpine Touch is adding some spice to a whole new frontier: jerky.
Yes, you read that right. The seasoning we’ve been using to season steaks, potatoes, and, let’s be honest, more than a few experiments in the kitchen, is now the star of Alpine Touch Rough Cut Jerky. Working with Ranch House Sausage Co. in Billings, they developed two flavors: Original All-Purpose and Hickory Smoke. And believe me, this is not run-of-the-mill gas station jerky.
The Original flavor is like someone decided to marinate pure Montana beef with LOVE. Hickory Smoke, on the other hand, is like a backyard campfire in your mouth. Minus the watery eyes and charred marshmallow.

What’s great about this move? It’s not merely jerky; it’s an evolution. Alpine Touch has long been a Montana staple, beginning in a small grocery store in Whitefish and growing into an empire of seasonings and rubs. And now, they are powering our hikes, fishing trips, and hunting packs with jerky.
