About this deal
When drying Biltong, the process should be slow to avoid cooking it; most biltong makers use a biltong box for the drying process to create good air circulation.
If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label. Back in the day, the people of Southern Africa preserved their meat by curing it with salt and hanging it up.We make our biltong by marinating, seasoning and curing lean meat from cows reared on British and Irish soil. These guys have done a fantastic job of creating a superb product, despite not having the benefit of the hot African winds. Homemade biltong can take about 15 minutes to prepare and to achieve the best results, in the end, you will need a cut of good beef that is suitable for making biltong.

Our 250g, 500g bulk bag products and Variety Biltong 3 pack products are small enough to fit through most letterboxes. Most families and butchers making biltong will have their own unique twists - and will always swear theirs is the best. I am afraid I didn’t like it very much and it tastes completely different to the original and has a very different texture. That's why our biltong is made with lean silverside beef from British and Irish cows - marinated, seasoned and cured for 8 days.
