Find Perth's Best in Local Flavour: Konvict Jerky at Gather & Gourmet

An indulgence that combines world-class ingredients with masterful craftsmanship, delivering a luxury snacking experience unlike anything else in Perth.

Gather & Gourmet is more than just a market — it’s a celebration of Perth’s most talented artisan food makers, where each stall is an invitation to discover something truly special. On Saturday, 30th August, the lush surrounds of Supreme Court Gardens will transform into a food lover’s haven from 3:30 pm, showcasing the best of local flavours, craft, and culinary creativity.

Among the lineup of exceptional vendors, one stall in particular is set to stand out for those with a refined palate: Konvict Jerky. This is jerky as you’ve never experienced it before — an indulgence that combines world-class ingredients with masterful craftsmanship, delivering a luxury snacking experience unlike anything else in Perth.

From Personal Reinvention to Award-Winning Jerky

Konvict Jerky’s story begins with founder Benny Tilbury, whose own health journey became the foundation of the business. In 2021, Benny adopted a carnivore diet to improve his wellbeing. While the benefits were clear, the store-bought jerky options he tried were far from ideal — most were packed with sugars, GMOs, and preservatives, and lacked the depth of flavour he craved.

Driven by a desire for something better, Benny began experimenting in his home kitchen, creating clean, high-quality jerky that didn’t compromise on taste. What started as a personal project quickly grew into a business with a loyal following. Today, Konvict Jerky has earned multiple accolades at the Perth Royal Food Awards, including gold and champion titles — a testament to its quality and craft.

The Luxury of Full-Blood Wagyu

At the heart of every pack of Konvict Jerky is an uncompromising commitment to premium ingredients. Benny sources A5 Full-Blood Wagyu beef with a marbling score of 9+ from Stone-Axe, one of Australia’s most respected Wagyu producers. These cattle are ethically raised on open pastures, producing beef renowned for its tenderness, richness, and extraordinary flavour.

Rather than overpowering the Wagyu with heavy seasoning, Benny designs his marinades to enhance the natural characteristics of the meat. This thoughtful approach means each bite showcases the buttery texture and depth of flavour that Wagyu is famous for. It’s jerky elevated to fine-dining standards — a balance of tradition and innovation.

A Statement in Gourmet Gifting

Konvict Jerky isn’t just for snacking — it’s the kind of product that turns heads when gifted. With its sleek, luxury packaging and unique flavour combinations, it makes an unforgettable addition to corporate hampers, special occasions, or grazing tables.

Standout offerings like the 23-karat gold-dusted truffle jerky push Konvict Jerky firmly into the realm of edible luxury. It’s the kind of item that sparks conversation and lingers in memory long after the last bite. This is food as an experience — something to savour slowly and share with pride.

Meet the Maker, Taste the Craft

Benny’s journey from health-conscious home cook to award-winning producer is at the heart of what makes Konvict Jerky special. Every packet represents hours of careful preparation, from sourcing premium Wagyu to perfecting marinades and smoking techniques.
