Our products

Where does your beef come from?

All of our beef is sourced from the Eastern Cape. We are a small Cape Town business and take pride in supplying quality biltong and droëwors you can rely on.

Can I customise my order?

Yes, on larger orders. We can tailor orders by weight, fat content, how wet or dry you like it, and whether you want it sliced or whole. Custom orders are subject to a minimum order quantity, so we can't customise small amounts. Contact us before ordering and we'll confirm what's possible.

Freshness and storage

How is my order packed?

Every order is vacuum-sealed. This locks in freshness and flavour from the moment it is packed, and keeps your biltong protected and in perfect condition while in transit.

How long does it last?

Unopened, vacuum-sealed packs keep for around 3 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How should I store it once opened?

Once opened, keep it in a cool, dry place and enjoy it within a few days for the best taste and texture. Avoid sealing opened biltong in plastic, as trapped moisture shortens its life. For more tips, read our guide to storing biltong.

Delivery and collection

Do you deliver nationwide?

Yes. We courier across South Africa. Orders usually arrive within 2–4 working days of dispatch.

How much does delivery cost?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on your address:

  • Cape Town: R65, free on orders over R750
  • Major city centres: R90, free on orders over R850
  • Outside major centres: R90, free on orders over R1,000
Can I collect my order?

Yes. You can choose free collection from Rondebosch East, Cape Town, at checkout. We'll contact you to arrange a convenient time. You can also choose to arrange your own courier. Uber Courier is a great option for quick local deliveries.
