What Is Biltong?

Biltong is a traditional Southern African air dried beef snack. It’s similar to beef jerky but typically made from thinly sliced beef, although it can also be made from game meats like ostrich or kudu. The meat is cured with vinegar and spices like coriander, salt, and pepper, then air-dried. Biltong has a chewy texture and a savory flavor, and it’s often enjoyed as a protein-rich snack. It’s popular in countries like South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Botswana, and it’s gaining popularity in other parts of the world as well.
