Biltong & droewors

Prior to the invention of refrigerators, the indigenous tribes of South Africa used a method called dry curing to preserve meat. Biltong (thinly sliced, air-dried meat) and droewors (an air-dried sausage) are traditional snacks made from beef or game, such as springbok.

Droewors (dry/dried sausage) from Biltong is a delicious South African snack made from an old family recipe. It's made up of lean beef, a few well-chosen cuts of lamb, minced and seasoned with a blend of spices, then wrapped in natural lamb casings and dried to perfection.

The meat is hung to dry after being cured in a mixture of vinegar, salt, sugar, and spices like coriander and pepper. Health nuts adore the finished product because of its high protein and low fat content. Currently, biltong and droewors producers use a variety of meats, including ostrich and wild boar, and add flavorings such as chilli or garlic to the meat.
