Welcome to Baya Biltong!
Our story began in our kitchen, crafting small batches of biltong from a family recipe passed down by our Oupa (Afrikaans for grandfather). As we began to share with friends, word quickly spread, and soon we couldn’t keep up!
Today, we’ve grown into a small family business with a passion for sharing the rich flavors of South Africa with the US.
So whether you’re trying Biltong for the first time or a seasoned saffa from Mzansi, we’re proud to offer you the same legacy, natural ingredients, and mouthwatering flavors of Oupa’s Biltong that started it all.
Our name comes from the Baya Weaver bird (Ploceus philippinus), a species known for making incredible hanging nests out of just leaves and grass. Like the weaver bird, we strive to bring you the same care and craftmanship as we slice, season, and hang-dry each batch of Biltong to perfection.
Crafted from Premium USA-born-and-raised beef, all of our products are 100% pork-free and contain no added sugar or artificial preservatives. Whether you’re craving the tender texture of our Classic Biltong, the bold kick of our Spicy Chili Bites, or a handful of our crispy Droëwors, we’ve got a lekker bite for everyone.
