Understanding the Rich History of Biltong

Before we talk about all the delicious details of sliced Biltong, let’s have a quick look at its history.

Biltong was first introduced in the 1600s by indigenous South Africans. Back then, people needed to stock and preserve meat for long journeys. So, they started curing the meat with salt and hanging it in the open to air-dry in the sun. Once the beef is nice and dry, they used to slice it into strips for easy storage and consumption.

And this is how the scrumptious, sliced Biltong came into existence.

The Unique Preparation Process of Sliced Biltong

Sliced Biltong is made through a special preparation process that sets it apart from other beef snacks. Only the best quality prime cuts of sirloin, Top Round or Bottom Round (Silverside) are chosen to make the tasty sliced Biltong beef snack. It is cut into thin slices and then marinated in vinegar, salt, and spices. This marinating process infuses the meat with flavor, creating an amazing aroma and taste.

After that, as in the traditional process, the beef slices are air-dried for a few days until they reach the right balance of tender and chewy. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
