Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our South African artisanal foods
What makes authentic South African biltong different from American beef jerky?
Biltong is whole-muscle beef marinated in brown vinegar, toasted crushed coriander, sea salt, and coarse black pepper, then slowly air-cured in ambient conditions. Unlike standard jerky, biltong is never cooked or smoked with heat, and contains no artificial nitrates or MSG—delivering a remarkably tender texture and pure beef flavor.
What is droëwors?
Droëwors (Afrikaans for "dry sausage") is authentic South African dried coriander beef sausage. Made from finely minced beef seasoned with vinegar, coriander, and warm spices, it is piped into thin natural casings and air-dried until perfectly firm, rich, and snackable.
How should biltong and droëwors be stored?
Because our products contain no artificial chemical preservatives, keep unopened packages in a cool, dark, dry pantry. Once opened, store in the refrigerator or freeze in airtight bags to preserve moisture and freshness.
Where do you ship and what are the shipping rates?
We ship to all 50 United States addresses. Standard flat-rate shipping is $10.00, and shipping is completely free on merchandise orders of $200.00 or more. Orders are packed carefully and shipped directly from Loveland, Ohio.
Can you accommodate custom catering or bulk orders?
Yes! We regularly provide biltong, boerewors, rusks, and baked specialties for braais, celebrations, and corporate gifts. Feel free to contact us via our Contact page or email to discuss special requests.
