What is Biltong?

What is Biltong? The Delicious South African Snack Taking the UK by Storm

If you’ve never heard of biltong before, you’re in for a seriously tasty surprise. This traditional South African air-dried meat is not only packed with protein, but also bursting with flavour – making it the perfect snack for fitness lovers, foodies, and fans of all things bold and savoury.

A Little History

Biltong originated in Southern Africa in the 1600s as a way to preserve meat. Today, it’s still made using time-honoured methods of spicing, marinating, and air-drying.

How It’s Made

Biltong is made from high-quality cuts of meat, typically beef, which are marinated in vinegar and spices such as coriander, pepper, and salt. The meat is then hung and air-dried slowly for days – no ovens.

Why Biltong Over Jerky?

  • Air-dried, not cooked
  • No artificial preservatives
  • Tender and flavourful
