By Donwynne and Amy Bergh
The easiest biltong gift is the Whole Herd: one of every Inyama biltong flavour plus two beef sticks, in one box, for £24.99. If they already have a favourite flavour, a 12-pack of it at £44.99 will last them well past Boxing Day. Everything we make uses 100% pasture-fed British beef from Farm Wilder farms across South West England, with UK delivery.
Who is biltong a good gift for?
Anyone who would rather have something savoury than another box of chocolates. Biltong tends to land well with:
- people who love good meat and want to know where it came from
- walkers, runners, cyclists and gym regulars who like a high-protein snack
- South Africans in the UK who miss a taste of home
- the person who says "don't get me anything", because biltong gets eaten
New to biltong? What is biltong? explains it in two minutes.
What's the best biltong gift for someone who has never tried it?
The Whole Herd (£24.99). It's a mixed 6-pack with one of everything we make, so they can find their favourite:
- 1 x Original Biltong (35g)
- 1 x Garlic & Black Pepper Biltong (35g)
- 1 x Chilli Biltong (35g)
- 1 x Cape Curry Biltong (35g)
- 2 x Original Beef Sticks (40g)
Cape Curry contains mustard and celery. Full ingredients are on each product page and on every pack.
What if they already have a favourite flavour?
Go big with a 12-pack (£44.99), or a 6-pack (£24.99) if you're adding it to other presents:
- Original Biltong: the classic, with coriander, black pepper and sea salt.
- Garlic & Black Pepper Biltong: a proper hit of garlic with a warm pepper finish.
- Chilli Biltong: a warming chilli kick for anyone who likes heat.
- Cape Curry: fragrant curry spice with gentle chilli warmth. Contains mustard and celery.
- Original Beef Sticks: our biltong's skinny cousin, made for pockets, bags and lunchboxes.
What's a good Secret Santa gift under £25?
The Whole Herd or any 6-pack, both £24.99. It's a gift people actually use, and it doesn't need wrapping paper to look generous.
Can biltong go in a Christmas stocking?
Yes. Our biltong comes in 35g packs and our beef sticks in 40g packs, so a 6-pack splits nicely across a few stockings. Keep them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. They store at room temperature, so there's no need to find space in the fridge, and every pack has its best-before date printed on it. Once a pack is open, eat it within 24 hours, though in our experience an open pack rarely lasts that long.
How do I get free delivery?
Delivery is free on orders from £65. A few ways to get there:
- two 12-packs (£89.98): one to give, one to keep
- a 12-pack plus a Whole Herd (£69.98)
- three 6-packs or Whole Herds (£74.97): three presents sorted in one order
When do I need to order for Christmas?
Order by Saturday 19 December for delivery before Christmas. If you need a parcel to go out quickly, choose Express: order before 14:00 on a working day and we'll dispatch it the same day.
Is there a gift that keeps going?
If you end up keeping a 12-pack for yourself (it happens), Subscribe & Save on the 12-packs takes 15% off your first box, then 10% off every box after, delivered monthly, every 2 weeks or every 2 months. You can pause, skip or cancel anytime.
Why give Inyama?
We're Donwynne and Amy, the husband-and-wife team behind Inyama, a British biltong brand. Donwynne has South African roots and biltong has always been his favourite snack. We started Inyama because we wanted biltong made from beef we could trace back to the farm. All our beef comes from Farm Wilder farms in South West England. Farm Wilder audits those farms every two years against standards developed with FWAG South West, and the cattle are 100% pasture-fed. Here's what your order supports.
You may have seen us on The Hairy Bikers Go West. We also took part in Channel 4's Aldi: The Next Big Seller, which airs Thursday 3 December at 8pm.
