Hey there, snack enthusiasts! Ever wondered what makes biltong such a beloved treat? Biltong is a South African classic that's gaining popularity for all the right reasons. Let’s unravel the mystery and explore what makes biltong a must-have snack.
Origins: A Taste of History
Biltong traces its origins back to South Africa, where it was ingeniously crafted by the Boers as a way to preserve meat during long journeys across the African plains. The name itself - derived from Dutch words meaning "buttock" and "strip"- hints at its humble beginnings. Picture tender strips of premium beef, marinated to perfection and air-dried to create a snack that's as rich in history as it is in flavour.
The Making of Biltong: A Labour of Love
At Canterbury Biltong, we take pride in crafting biltong the traditional way. It all starts with selecting the finest cuts of export grade grass fed beef - because quality is paramount. Our secret marinade blends vinegar with a medley of spices, including coriander, pepper and a pinch of salt. This unique marinade not only enhances the flavour but also tenderises the meat, ensuring every bite is a burst of savoury goodness.
Once marinated, the beef is air-dried to perfection. This slow-drying process allows the flavours to intensify while preserving the natural tenderness of the meat. The result? A snack that’s not just satisfying but downright addictive.
Flavour Explosion: Why Biltong?
What sets biltong apart from other dried meats like jerky? It’s all about the texture and taste. Unlike jerky, which is often chewy and thinly sliced, biltong boasts a tender yet substantial texture. Each bite offers a complex flavour profile that’s both robust and nuanced - perfect for those who appreciate depth in their snacks.
