Billy Tong’s biltong has a shorter shelf life than most other biltong products being sold, but that is a trade-off that the team here at Billy Tong are prepared to offer our customers.
Biltong purchased from supermarkets and the like, normally have a 12-month shelf life in their packets which does nothing for the taste and consistency.
Reducing shelf life to 30 days provides so many more benefits when it comes to moistness, flavour and the maintenance of nutrients.
You can, of course, freeze our Biltong if you want to but in our experience, our customers will eat their purchases within 3 days never mind 30!
Our grass-fed beef comes from registered farms with full traceability and is shipped to our UK based production facility.
Hung for 28 days, this succulent meat then has our carefully selected herbs and spices introduced in a special and secret process. This ensures the richness and wholeness of flavour are maintained throughout the following four-day air drying process.
After the air dry curing is complete, our Biltong is then sliced and each batch is tested for flavour and freshness after which it is then individually packed ready for sale.
Because of the reduced shelf life of our product, we only make our Biltong in small batches to ensure complete customer satisfaction. This can sometimes create an extra day or two in shipping as we wait for the latest batch to be available. We only ever want to ship ultra fresh Biltong to our clients.
