What is Biltong?
Biltong originated in the South of Africa by the Dutch as a way of preserving meat during expeditions. The word “BILTONG” is from the Dutch South African language known as Afrikaans – the “BIL” means “buttock” and “TONG” means “strip or tongue” so strips of buttocks which refers to the cut of meat that most people made biltong from. Biltong is made by cutting the meat into strips following the grain of the muscle, it is then marinated in a mix of salt, pepper, coriander and various other spices depending on the recipe, then dried/cured (Biltong is not cooked unlike commercial jerky). Various types of meat can be used to produce biltong, beef is the most commonly used but in Southern Africa various game meats are also popular. Biltong is some what related to beef jerky in that they are both spiced, dried meats; however, the typical ingredients, taste, texture and production processes differ. The less processed meat snack is becoming very popular with dieters, athletes and other food conscious people.
Biltong Vs Jerky
Biltong and traditionally made Jerky are very similar but there is one major difference. Jerky is somewhat cooked/smoked and while biltong is air cured. Commercial jerky is completely different from either of these processes and some believe they have lost their way so Biltong has brought a great readily available, healthier alternative to the shelves. Less processes, less additives and a lot less sugar, for the majority of Biltong makers less is more!.
