Biltong vs. Jerky
Biltong is more than just jerky. With its own signature spices, slow-curing process and unique texture, it brings together the bold flavour of jerky, the tender softness of prosciutto, and the satisfying bite of aged steak, all in one moist, protein-packed snack. Made with real ingredients and generations of know-how, our biltong is crafted to spark a serious craving and keep you coming back for more.
The Benefits of Biltong
Nutritionally, biltong is hard to beat. Packed with up to 67% highly digestible protein, all nine essential amino acids, plus iron, vitamin B12, zinc and creatine, it’s made with just a few natural ingredients, minimal processing and zero artificial additives or heat. Healthier than a protein bar and way more satisfying than a bag of crisps, it’s also naturally low-carb, low-sugar and gluten-free, perfect for Paleo, Keto, Banting, Carnivore and Whole30 lifestyles.
How to Enjoy Biltong
Biltong is best savoured slice by slice. Available in slabs, slices, chunks, sticks or chips, it’s the perfect high-protein, low-sugar snack for post-workout refuels, hiking, road trips, lunchboxes or simply stocking your pantry. Ideal for athletes and fitness lovers, it also shines in the kitchen — shredding perfectly into sandwiches, adding to salads, topping pizzas, or flavouring stews, frittatas, scones and canapés.
FROM SOMEWHERE
What began as a necessity turned into a much-loved delicacy. For centuries the people of Africa have been preserving meat on the wide-open savannahs of southern Africa. By salting strips of meat and letting them dry out in the hot African sun, the meat could keep for months at a time without spoiling. When European explorers arrived, they began adding spices for extra flavour. Which is how, many centuries later, biltong as we know it today, came to make one more journey – to Australia.
Established in 1994, we opened our first store in Wembley, Perth, Western Australia (WA). It was the beginning of a passionate, fiery journey that changed the way people saw (and eat) Biltong in Australia today. In the beginning, it was mostly about offering the “scatterlings of Africa” a nostalgic taste of ‘home’ and chance to reconnect with memories. But over the years, we’ve worked hard to tell the story of Biltong – its origins, its salty richness and natural meaty flavours, its nutritional benefits and its eating occasions – far and wide. The magic of the journey has been in uniting two distinct regions and traditions.
We all come from somewhere, and biltong, like all food, is more than sustenance; there are stories waiting to be shared.
