WHAT IS BILTONG MADE OF?Updated 18 hours ago

Just in case you’d missed it earlier, biltong is made from dried beef steaks. By sourcing the healthiest beef possible and avoiding preservatives, our biltong differs from most in that it’s made with a health focus in mind. We use biltong to complement our own lifestyles as the perfect high protein, low carb, real food.

It’s marinated in vinegar and other spices to add flavour and after that, we hang it out to air dry.

During this time, the steaks lose most of their weight from water evaporation. 

About 3kg of beef is used to make 1kg of biltong. What’s left is a convenient and dense source of protein that tastes great — a biltong steak.
