South Africa's Best Kept Secret...

South Africa's Best Kept Secret...

Discover the taste of Biltong

What's Biltong?

Traditional South African steak, air-dried and thin-sliced for a rich, tender bite.
Clean Ingredients

Beef, Vinegar, Salt, Spices, and Worcestershire Sauce.

Naturally Preserved

Air-dried and slow-cured to lock in nutrients and maximize flavor.

Thin Slice

Soft, delicate slices with a rich, steak-like bite that melts in your mouth.

Packed with Protein

Biltong loses up to 55% of its water weight as it dries, packing nearly twice the protein per ounce as steak.

So it's like Jerky?

Not at all. Beef Jerky is packed with preservatives, sugar, and cooked till it chews like leather. After your first bite of biltong, you'll never want to go back.

OUR STORY

It all started in our kitchen, crafting small batches of Biltong from a family recipe passed down by our Oupa (Afrikaans for grandfather). We began sharing with our friends, and soon they couldn’t get enough! Since then, we've opened our first facility to share Oupa's legacy (and biltong) with the rest of our friends across the States.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about biltong, from storage to nutrition and beyond.
Is Biltong raw? Plus

Biltong is cured and air-dried, not raw. The vinegar and salt naturally eliminate bacteria and preserve the meat while the controlled drying process removes moisture content to lengthen shelf life.

Is Biltong safe for Kids? Plus

Biltong is a great source of protein and iron, but its firm texture can be a choking risk for young children. Always cut it into small, bite-sized pieces and serve in moderation due to its salt content. If you have concerns, consult your pediatrician.

Can I eat biltong every day? Plus

Yes! Biltong is high in protein and low in carbs, making it an excellent daily snack. It's perfect for keto diets, fitness routines, and anyone seeking a nutritious, satisfying snack.

How should I store Biltong? Plus

Baya Biltong is fully cured and shelf-stable, so it can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Once opened, we recommend refrigerating and enjoying within 4–6 days to maintain peak freshness. Though in most cases, it disappears much sooner 😉

Is biltong illegal in the US? Plus

Biltong is completely legal in the United States when produced in a USDA-inspected facility.

Imported raw meat products may be restricted by customs, but properly manufactured biltong made under federal inspection is fully compliant and safe.

Do you ship outside of the US? Plus

At this time, we ship exclusively within the United States.
