Biltong

Biltong is a traditional South African dried meat snack that has been enjoyed for centuries. It’s similar to beef jerky, but with a few key differences.

Biltong is traditionally made from beef, though other meats — such as wildebeest, ostrich, or even fish — can be used. The meat is seasoned with a blend of coriander, black pepper, and salt before being air-dried. This air-drying process is what gives biltong its signature chewy texture and bold, concentrated flavor. It’s also what sets it apart from jerky, which is usually dried in an oven.

In South Africa, biltong is a beloved on-the-go snack — easy to carry and packed with protein. It’s also a staple at braais (South African barbecues), often served alongside grilled meats and veggies. Biltong is incredibly versatile: enjoy it on its own, pair it with cheese and crackers, or even use it as a flavorful topping on dishes like pizza!
