Collection: Biltong Cutters & More

Originating in South Africa, Biltong is a form of air-dried meat.  There are different types of Biltong made from beef, chicken and game meats such as fillets of Ostrich and Kudu.

Biltong as it is today evolved from the dried meat carried by the wagon-travelling Voortrekkers, who needed stocks of durable food as they migrated from the Cape Colony north and north-eastward (away from British rule) into the interior of Southern Africa during the Great Trek.

Biltong is cured and marinated for 24 hours and then hung on hooks to air dry for up to a week. It is left in thicker pieces and left to dry out slowly before slicing to the desired size.

Okay, so now I have my biltong? How do I cut it? The simplest way is using a very sharp knife or a functional biltong cutter from Lifespace.
