many thanks! Package arrived safe and sound yesterday, and is delicious! My only problem is stopping eating it - my last order was 500g as well I think - ate it all over a rather drunken weekend.

I have a beer and a big bag of Biltong beside me, and the sun is blazing, I'm on my laptop sitting in the bed of my old pickup truck. I think I'll end up going through every variation of fatty, lean, dry, wet, before long!

Knowledgeable staff • Convenient location • Great selection I visited for the first time today and was blown away by the friendliness of the extremely knowledgeable staff, the cleanliness but most of all the incredible biltong. It's by far the best l've ever tasted. Highly recommended

I'm 5 packs into the various taster packs that arrived a few days ago and I can't stop. I absolutely love the snap sticks - but there's genuinely nothing l've eaten so far that isn't delicious. I can't rest knowing that I have more unopened packs in the kitchen!
