BILTONG HISTORY
Biltong was developed in South Africa by the Afrikaner voortrekkers as a way to store meat in the dry conditions of the highveld and carry it easily on their trek wagons. The word biltong is derived from the Dutch bil (rump) and tong (tongue) and refers to the cut of meat used and the shape of the cut meat to be dried.
Originally made from game meat such as eland, springbok and hartebeest most biltong today is made from beef and that primarily silverside. Our biltong is made from prime British and Irish beef, marinated in our secret spice and herb mix and cured for approximately 5 days, much as the voortrekkers did in days of yore.
