Why Kiwis are calling Biltong Butcher their forever snack
Every slab in this range starts as grass-fed NZ beef. It's marinated in vinegar, salt, and the spice blend the authentic recipe calls for, then hung to dry. No heat. Our biltong is traditionally cured and slowly dried under carefully controlled conditions, with gentle temperatures between 20–30°C and balanced humidity levels, creating the perfect environment for exceptional flavour, texture, and quality.The cure takes 72 to 96 hours inside our purpose-built Kalahari Khabu drying cabinets, which replicate a traditional South African dry season right here in Warkworth Auckland
Because the snacking space needs a high protein option which isn’t ultra processed. That sounds like a simple request but kiwis have come up empty until they find biltong. With 45g of quality protein and bold flavours that make choosing between good for you and actually good easy. Finally something that is both. That’s why we call it your forever snack. Once you rip open a packet the search for the perfect snack is over.
You can buy biltong online NZ-wide and have it on your doorstep within a couple of days. Made daily in Matakana to order, not sat on a shelf for twelve months chocked full of artificial preservatives. This is a convenient real food option not an over processed supplement.
Jerky is cooked. Biltong is cured. That single difference changes everything that follows. When beef is heat-processed in a dehydrator or oven, the protein structure shifts and moisture is driven out much faster. The result is a chewier strip that is quite different from the melt in your mouth experience offered by traditional biltong. Biltong air-dries slowly. Less moisture loss, more natural beef flavour, and thicker cuts that have a satisfying chewy exterior while staying tender through the middle. We think both have their place, especially when done with authentic, high quality ingredients. That’s why we stock both at the Biltong Butcher.

Frequently asked question
Unopened biltong has a shelf life of 30 days stored in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. We make it fresh to order with natural preservatives only, so it can’t sit on a shelf for twelve months pretending to be fresh.
Once opened, finish it within 4 days. At the end of the day treat it like real food, because it is. That means, keeping it in a cool, dry spot with the bag resealed tight. No fridge required, though popping it in there once opened will extend things a bit.
If you're in a humid part of NZ like the Far North, the biggest enemy is moisture in the air. It makes the biltong sweat and speeds up mould. If you do get surface mould, a rinse in warm vinegar solution and a day in the fridge will usually rescue the batch.
It depends on the flavour you choose. Check the flavours and pick from the options that meet your needs. With 45g of protein per 100g pack. Low carb. Most flavours in the range are gluten free, though a couple contain trace gluten in the seasoning mixes and very low levels of unrefined brown sugar. The pack label carries the most current allergen information, so check the panel if you're coeliac
