Original is the classic: South African biltong, thin, lean and dry, with black pepper, coriander, nutmeg and onion doing the work. Savoury, with real beef flavour.

Made in Chesham, UK, from British and Irish silverside beef, to a South African recipe, and air-dried the slow way.

Big bags are for the pantry, the braai and sharing, in 250g, 500g or 1kg. The 500g is two 250g bags and the 1kg is four.

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.

Questions about this product

What are the ingredients in Original?

Beef, Himalayan Pink Salt, Black Pepper, Coriander, Nutmeg, Onion, Balsamic Vinegar, Potassium Sorbate. Listed largest first, as printed on the back of the bag.

How much salt, sugar and protein is in Original?

The label lists salt, not sodium. Per 100g it prints 3.5g of salt, 2.5g of sugars and 60g of protein. The whole 250g bag prints 8.8g of salt, 6.3g of sugars and 150g of protein.

How much does it cost per 100g?

Price per 100g by size: 250g is £8.00 (£19.99), 500g is £7.00 (£34.99), 1kg is £6.30 (£62.99). Free standard delivery on every UK order.

Does it contain nitrates or preservatives?

The bag says no nitrates. Every ingredient is printed on the bag and on this page, and celery powder is not one of them. It does contain a preservative: potassium sorbate (E202) is in the ingredient list of every flavour.

Is it wet or dry, and is it fatty?

Dry and lean. It is air-dried, and the label shows 2.3g of fat per 100g. If you are looking for wet, medium-rare or fatty biltong, this is not that.

How is biltong different from jerky?

Biltong is air-dried, not cooked, and seasoned with salt and spice. It is dry, lean and savoury. Jerky is usually dried with heat, and often sweetened or smoked.
