Handmade Biltong from Cheshire

We're a small, family-run business and we make every batch of our biltong ourselves, from slicing and marinating to drying in rooms we designed and built. There's no middle man and no rebranded factory product: what you order is what we made. We use British and Irish beef from a local supplier with full traceability, and we're approved by our local Environmental Health team with the FSA stamp to produce and distribute meat products.

Our biltong contains no MSG and every pack carries a five-month best before date, so it's easy to keep a few packs in the cupboard. Over 500 customers have reviewed us on Trustpilot, making us one of the UK's highest-rated biltong makers.

What Is Biltong?

Biltong is South Africa's favourite dried meat snack. Strips of beef are marinated in vinegar and spices, usually coriander, black pepper and salt, then hung to air-dry slowly at a low temperature rather than being cooked or smoked. The result is a tender, savoury snack with a deeper, meatier flavour than most jerky. If you want the full story, read biltong 101: how it's made and why it tastes so good or our guide to biltong vs jerky.

Our Biltong Flavours

Not sure where to start? Our guide to which biltong is best explains the flavours and fat levels, or try a few at once with a biltong selection box.

Game and Speciality Biltong

Alongside our beef biltong you'll find game and speciality biltong: venison, kangaroo, duck and zebra, plus wagyu beef with cracked black pepper. Game biltong is usually leaner than beef with a richer taste. The exotic game selection box is the easiest way to try them.

Sliced Biltong, Bites and Chilli Bites

Sliced biltong is the classic, but there are other ways to enjoy it. Biltong bites (stokkies) are thin sticks that are easy to snack on, chilli bites are thin, extra-dry sticks with plenty of chilli kick, and biltong offcuts are the irregular ends at a lower price, great for cooking or sharing. For South Africa's other favourite dried meat, try our droewors.

High-Protein, Low-Carb Snacking

Our Original biltong has been lab tested at around 50g of protein, 8g of fat and under 1.5g of carbohydrate per 100g, which makes it a popular snack for gym-goers and anyone following a keto or low-carb diet. See our round-up of the best keto snacks in the UK.

Pack Sizes, Bulk Boxes and Gifts

Most flavours come in individual packs, so you can try a few. If you already know your favourite, our kilo boxes give you 500g to 2.5kg at a lower price per kilo. Buying for someone else? Browse our biltong gifts and hampers, or have a go at making it yourself with our biltong makers and kits.

Frequently asked questions

What is biltong made from?

Our beef biltong is made from British and Irish beef, marinated in vinegar and spices, then air-dried in our own drying rooms. Game biltong is made in the same way from meats such as venison, kangaroo, duck or zebra.

Is biltong raw?

Biltong isn't cooked with heat, but it isn't raw meat either. The vinegar marinade, salt and slow air-drying cure the meat and make it safe to eat, much like other cured meats.

How long does biltong last?

Every pack of our biltong has a five-month best before date. Once opened, keep it in a paper bag or a container with the lid ajar in a cool, dry place and eat it within a few days, as a sealed plastic bag can trap moisture.

Is biltong healthy?

Biltong is high in protein and low in carbohydrate and sugar. Our Original flavour has around 50g of protein and 1.4g of carbohydrate per 100g, and none of our biltong contains MSG. It is fairly high in salt, so enjoy it as part of a balanced diet.

What's the difference between biltong and jerky?

Jerky is usually cooked or smoked and often sweetened, while biltong is marinated in vinegar and spices and slowly air-dried. Biltong tends to be thicker, more tender and more savoury. Our biltong vs jerky guide goes into more detail.

How much is delivery?

UK mainland delivery is free on orders over £75 and £5 below that, sent by Royal Mail with tracking. Most orders are dispatched the same or next working day, and you can also choose click and collect.

Is biltong allowed in the UK?

Yes. Biltong is legal to buy and eat in the UK, and ours is made here in Cheshire under EHO approval. What you can't do is bring beef biltong into Great Britain in your luggage: meat products from outside the EU are banned, and most beef and game products from the EU are currently restricted too. Buying UK-made biltong avoids the problem.

Why is biltong so expensive?

Biltong loses around half its weight as it dries, so it takes roughly 2kg of raw beef to make 1kg of biltong, plus several days of drying. Buying by the kilo brings the price down: see our bulk biltong boxes.

Is your biltong halal?

No, our biltong is not halal.
