Frequently Asked Questions
What is Biltong
Biltong is a cured and air-dried beef delicacy. Our Biltong is a great “ready to eat” snack solution and is perfect for hiking trips, picnics, cheese platters, kid’s lunch boxes and of course, an accompaniment to watching your favourite footy team. Our Biltong is the perfect High Protein, Low Fat, Preservative Free snack!
How long do Biltong Products last?
If stored correctly in a paper bag in the fridge, it will just dry out more and more until it becomes super dry and brittle. Some people prefer this! If stored in an air-tight container or even wrapped in cling-film in the freezer, it will last for up to 6 months. I recently found a 2-year old packet of our Beef Snapstix (the really dry version) in my golf bag. Needless to say, I was hungry and had it. No problem so far!!
What is the best way to store Biltong?
Even though Biltong is cured and air-dried, it’s still meat! Because our Biltong is Preservative Free, we recommend that it be stored in the fridge in a paper bag over short periods, where it’ll just dry out more. Should you wish to store it for longer than 3 days, or you want the biltong to stay soft (moist), we recommend you store it in an air-tight container in the Freezer. Biltong can be stored in the Freezer for up to 6 months.
Is our Biltong Gluten Free?
Yes! The BiltongMan uses a specially formulated Gluten Free Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, rice, Decicated Soy Beans & Salt) in producing our delicious range of Biltong Products.
Our Biltong is regularly tested for gluten to substantiate / support our “Gluten Free” claims. Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any queries.
Is our Biltong HACCP Accredited?
Yes! Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. Our Biltong facilty is regularly audited to ensure our ongoing HACCP accreditation.
Does our Biltong come sliced or whole?
For ease of weighing, we send our Biltong sliced. However, if you prefer it whole you can check “Whole” when you add to cart. You can also select Dry medium or wet. Of course we also sell it any way you like when you buy from any of our premises.
