VAN T'S
ORIGINS
South African Boerewors, Droëwors, Biltong & Bacon – since centuries crafted after our traditional family recipes.
Biltong
The Art of Air-Drying
Biltong is the essence of South Africa. No smoke, no heat – only time, air and the legacy of the Van Tonder family. We let the meat mature in peace until aroma, texture and nutrients reach the perfect point.
The Principle of Air-Drying
Patience is our most important ingredient. Through this slow process we concentrate the aroma and preserve valuable nutrients. The result is pure protein, full vitamins and an unadulterated bite.
The Benefit of Air-Drying
Natural power. Through gentle curing without heat, vitamins and minerals are largely preserved. Biltong is concentrated energy in its purest form.
Sourcing & Production
Top quality from Austria. We use high-quality beef and selected venison. From sirloin to silverside, every cut is processed with respect for the raw material to guarantee consistency and class.
Classic Biltong
The original. Crafted according to the Van Tonder family recipe: Purist, bold and uncompromising in quality. A timeless classic that speaks for itself. The careful selection of spices enhances the natural aroma of the beef without altering it.
Chili Biltong Stokkies
Cut along the grain into fine sticks and refined with a fine chili note. We seek a gentle warmth that fires the meat flavor instead of suffocating it. Air-cured, this is the perfect snack with a bite. The convenient shape makes them the ideal companion for on the go or as a side to a cold drink.
Reserve Wagyu Biltong
Our crowning achievement. Perfected by Eben van Tonder in Cape Town. When exceptional marbling meets the highest art of refinement, a biltong of rare elegance is created. The high intramuscular fat of the Wagyu provides a texture that melts on the tongue and leaves an incomparably buttery aftertaste.
