“When I think back to my childhood, what I remember most is my family, friends and fresh air.  While I played outside – barefoot under the African sun – my family made truly artisanal biltong using natural spice blends, recipes and traditional processes handed down from generation to generation. Slowly but surely, I inherited my family’s  profound passion for producing real, authentic food with a healthy respect for the environment.

The Original Biltong Company has stayed true to this tradition because we believe the best tasting biltong is made from simple, natural, delicious ingredients. It begins with the quality of our grass-fed British and Irish beef, our authentic drying process and our secret blend of herbs and spices.  And it ends once that meat has been perfectly cured, hand selected, sliced, and packed for freshness.

Each bite is a proud tribute to the Holtshausen families who came before us and who never cease to inspire our passion, our product, our life.”
