Artisanal Biltong

Biltong is a delightful South African snack that we couldn’t resist after our rugby-loving friends introduced us to its meaty goodness! Imagine this: tender strips of air-dried, cured meat that have been lovingly marinated in vinegar and spices, then hung out to dry like they’re enjoying a sunny day at the beach.

The word “biltong” comes from the Dutch words “bil,” meaning “buttock,” and “tong,” meaning “strip” or “tongue.” So, yes, it literally refers to strips of meat—no hidden meanings here! The process involves a flavourful bath of vinegar, black pepper, and coriander, along with a sprinkle of salt for good measure. Unlike its cousin beef jerky (which is cooked), biltong is air-dried without heat, resulting in a tender texture that’s more akin to a meat hug than a chew-fest.

Gee’s biltong is a tribute to our South African buddies. It’s spiced to perfection in the traditional style and made in small batches, just like our award-winning preserves. Each bite bursts with exceptional quality and freshness. So whether you’re gearing up for a game or just need a tasty snack to fuel your day, biltong is here to save the day—one delicious strip at a time!
