Since 1956 Freddy Hirsch has been milling and blending quality ingredients from within their world-class facility in Cape Town, South Africa. It doesn’t take long to prepare the meat ready to hang in your dehydrator box and depending on how you like your biltong wet – dry, fatty or not you can select the joint of meat and dry for shorter or longer periods of time to get it perfect every time.
