Manuka Smoked Biltong

Cold smoked biltong (Manuka) @ $80.00 per kg (whole pieces vacuum sealed).

We cold smoke the cured product with manuka wood chips before the drying process starts, this method elevates the flavour.

Something about biltong:

Tracing it’s roots back to South Africa, preserved (cured meat), before refrigerators and freezers, indigenous people needed a way to preserve extra meat for future meals.

The 17th century European settlers who arrived later saw the benefits of having a stock supply of food. The curing method changed over time, ingredients of vinegar, salt and pepper added to the meat-curing mix.

For the long journey they needed food, something portable, something non-perishable, and something with sustenance, biltong was the perfect solution.

This marked the humble beginnings of biltong, now one of South Africa’s favourite snacks, and now we added our spin on it and created smoked biltong. Smoked biltong, lightly cold smoked for 4 hours with manuka and then dried to perfection.
