Frequently asked questions
What is biltong?
Biltong is a traditional South African air-dried meat snack made by curing and drying beef in a blend of spices. Unlike jerky, biltong is never cooked or smoked, which gives it a richer texture and more intense flavour.
What makes Inyama Biltong different?
We only use 100% pasture-fed beef from regenerative farms in Devon, never imported or grain-finished meat. Our biltong is made in small batches with no added sugar, no MSG, and minimal preservatives – just real food with real flavour
Is your biltong grass-fed?
Better – it’s pasture-fed and finished, meaning our cattle graze naturally on grass, herbs, and legumes for their entire lives. This supports healthier animals, tastier beef, and regenerative farming that helps restore the land.
Is biltong healthy?
Yes! Biltong is naturally high in protein, low in carbs, and free from refined sugars. It’s a great choice for anyone following keto, paleo, or low-carb diets, or anyone just looking for a clean, satisfying snack.
Is your biltong made in the UK?
Yes – we make all of our biltong right here in Devon, UK, using local beef and traditional South African methods. It’s a proper blend of British sourcing and South African heritage.
When will I get my order?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
Does your biltong contain preservatives?
We use a small amount of potassium sorbate to ensure food safety and extend shelf life. It’s a commonly used preservative that helps prevent mould – especially important in air-dried meat products – but we use it sparingly.
How long does biltong last?
Our biltong typically has a shelf life of 4–5 weeks unopened, depending on the batch. Once opened, we recommend eating it within a few days for the best texture and flavour. Store it in a cool, dry place – or refrigerate if you prefer a firmer chew.
Is your biltong gluten-free?
Yes – our biltong is 100% gluten-free, with no wheat-based fillers or flavourings.
