So, what’s all the Beef about Biltong!
Biltong is a unique way of curing & preserving quality raw muscle meat. Pioneered in South Africa, it’s been enjoyed as a treasured treat for hundreds of years.
The name Biltong, is actually a combination of two old dutch words:
Bil = meat, Tong = strip.
Biltong is a process of marinating, and doesn’t have any reference to the meat protein itself. Traditionally, human varieties are typically made from high quality cuts of meat, beef, ostrich, venison & other game animals.
Preserving the meat was the culinary intention, gently curing and air drying in the wind and warmth of the natural surroundings , letting nature do it’s thing.

Human vs Dog Friendly
With Biltong growing in popularity within the human food space, you may just be tempted to share your own Biltong snacks with your faithful friend.
Important to mention the reasons that human varieties are NOT suitable for a dog’s digestion on a regular basis. Typically, the seasoning used in commercially manufactured biltong for human consumption contains considerably high levels of spicing , flavour enhancers, preservatives, chilli, pepper & salts which are not appropriate for the dog world.
Better for you and your dog!
No matter how much your dog will naturally gravitate to the meat products you eat, always be aware of serving your dog something that they themselves shouldn’t consume.
