Biltong. Nothing but the best.

At The Chichester Biltong Company we pride ourselves on sourcing only the best of British Beef to ensure the quality and taste of our Biltong and fullest flavours.

Biltong is dried beef also often known as Beef Jerky, but with no sugar and is completely natural. Beef Jerky is marinated and boiled for hours in vats of sugary sticky concoctions. Biltong is air dried with natural spices and is wonderfully simple and true to the quality of the ingredients used. We create a range of spicy Biltong flavours that people from all walks of life are raving about. Not only is it deliciously moreish, but is also contains loads of protein and low levels of fat, (see nutritional info below).

Don’t forget, if it’s your first time getting your tongue on some ‘Tong, it’s best to choose a mild version. It doesn’t contain the same spices and other fiery ingredients, but it’s every bit as delicious as the rest of our range.

Tasty and nutritious.

Protein, Fat and Calories
 
As we sell so much biltong to health fanatics, sports centres, gyms, mountaineers, Everest climbers, national body building champions, premier league footballers, famous tennis players, long distance runners and loads and loads of you that simply love to train and eat healthily, we need to be sure about the nutritional information we give out. To this end, we send samples on a regular basis to Eclipse Scientific for testing on a variety of fronts, including nutritional values and shelf life to ensure your biltong is healthy and safe. We have recently and successfully tested 250g bags of our biltong proving a 6-month shelf life.

Our biltong comes in a range of spicy flavours and is a healthy snack. We are now making Organic Premium Biltong with absolutely ZERO additives, preservatives or chemicals. Pure British, "Aberdeen Angus" beef from closed, Hampshire and Sussex herds. Only the very best beef money can buy!
 
Our biltong is 100% natural except for the inclusion of minimum quantities of the most common biltong preservative, sodium nitrate, (NOT IN OUR ORGANIC RANGE). This helps keep the biltong fresh for longer. In South Africa, it is common for humidity levels to be below 30%, perfect for making and keeping biltong. Here in the UK... need I say more... it is wet and humid and not great for making or preserving dried meat or fish!

We have to help the biltong to be biltong, a little more carefully than back in good old South Africa. Therefore, extra care needs to be taken to store it properly and avoid any spoilage. After all, it is a natural "moist" food substance and not indestructible as some people might think! Thoughts of cowboys carrying around beef jerky under their saddles for months on end, may work in the incredibly dry conditions of Arizona or Texas or the Kalahari Desert, but not in Edinburgh, Portsmouth, Bolton or Bath! The only reason for biltong or any other dried meat, to go off, is due to incorrect storage!
