A box is the easiest way to find your favourite. Every bag is a small 25g one, and there are six varieties, so you can try each before you go bigger.

  • Single Box: 12 bags, 2 each of Original, Garlic, Piri Piri and Smoky BBQ biltong, and 2 each of Original and Piri Piri droewors
  • Double Box: 24 bags, 4 of each

The biltong is thin, lean and dry. The droewors is dried beef sausage, cut into bite-size pieces.

Made in Chesham, UK, from British and Irish beef, to South African recipes. The biltong is air-dried the slow way.

Every bag has an oxygen absorber in it. It is not for eating. Full ingredients and nutrition are on the back of the bag and on this page.

Thin, lean and dry

Cut thin, the South African way

Beef, salt and spice, air-dried and sliced thin. Nothing else to it.

How our biltong is made

Marinated overnight

We slice 100% grass-fed British and Irish beef to our own thickness and marinate it overnight in our spices and balsamic vinegar from Modena.

Hand hung

Each slice is hand hung in our temperature-controlled drying room.

Dry cured for a week

For a week we adjust the humidity, air speed and temperature. The biltong cures slowly, stays tender and breaks up in your mouth.
