Difference between Biltong and Jerky?

Biltong is our favourite source of protein when it comes to snacks!

We always get the same question: What is the difference between biltong and jerky?

Biltong's natural air drying process better preserves the quality of the nutrients, which leads to better quality protein. Our recipe is based on vinegar, salt and spices - all natural ingredients, no nasties! 

We are HUGE FANS of biltong.
