Variety Biltong Box

Beef jerky is a classic cooked and dehydrated meat snack, made with salt and a handful of different seasonings. All the moisture is sucked out of the meat, which means it can hang around safely on the shelves for a long time. Biltong, on the other hand, uses a mix of vinegar and deep, strong spices every step of the way, giving the meat that extra notch of flavour. It also packs a juicier punch, because it has a slightly higher amount of fat running through the meat. Beef jerky has less fat - hence why it can be drier (and tougher on the teeth).

When storing your biltong in a cool dry place, this will prevent it from going moldy. Freezing your biltong can make it last for a year, which is awesome. You can extend this time by simply keeping it in the fridge or by vacuum sealing it. These storage conditions will have it last for weeks or months. Biltong only starts forming molds when exposed to oxygen, therefore you need to keep it sealed until the time you want to eat it.

Biltong is made from meat, this is because it is easy to get from any butcher and provides the best meat needed for the recipes. The excellent beef for quality biltong is the finest cuts from fillet, sirloin, or streaks from the hip such as silverside. Biltong is strictly made from soft beef, other parts can be used but the results are not great as it will be chewier.

Biltong is one of the best snacks you can enjoy and it has many health benefits too.

MSG is a glutamic acid put in foods to preserve it, it is a flavour enhancer but its use remains controversial. In some countries this additive is barbed because of its reactions on people - headaches, sweating, flushing, etc.

Biltong is high in vitamin B12, which is important for healthy cells and cell production. Vitamin B12 also prevents a type of anemia called megaloblasric, this anemia makes people feel tired and weak all the time.
