Biltong Depot Original Lean Biltong Air Dried Beef Slices, 1lb (16oz)

I like this biltong alot! My problem in the past with other brands has been a bunch of shredded pieces, and nuggets of fat. This brand is a full bag of slices, and no fat nuggets. Not too pricey for a pound. I will be buying this again. This has a great flavor, and not too salty. I wish I had a never ending supply! It's the best that I have ever had. Here is a later update, I have ordered another bag, and still am very happy. Another review states that this is more like shredded beef. I believe that this was just poor quality control as a flute, and don't believe that is a normal output of this supplier. So I am sorry for your misfortune. This product is focused on one flavor, which is fine with me, but it gives them more chances to get it right. It's still the best I've had, and is lean, and perfectly sliced. Update 1/21/2026 I just got my 6th order over a 4 year period. I still feel the same way about this product. An extra bonus is that the price is still the same as my first order. Keep up the good work.

This is tasty and delicious biltong without being overly salty or too dry. I stumbled upon a few recipes online for making biltong and tried making it myself. I bought this biltong to gauge to see if I am making it correctly. From what I understand, there are many different styles of biltong, but they all have a few things in common: strips of meat seasoned with salt and spices (usually coriander and black pepper), then air dried and then sliced thin. This biltong uses a high quality meat that isn't too fatty or too lean. It is nicely spiced, and has a hint of cloves (which surprised me) and has a nice balance of moisture. It isn't too peppery or too salty. It is pleasant tasting and filling - a small portion actually goes a long way to making you feel like you have had a satisfying snack. I was a little concerned that I had this shipped in summer where it can get over 100 degrees, but it arrived fresh and in good shape. They do warn you to refrigerate after opening, consume within 3 days or freeze it for later. I'll probably be freezing some for later as the portion is too large for me to consume within 3 days. Judging by this biltong and comparing to the biltong that I made, I am using too much salt, cutting my strips too thick, and drying for too long. I will make some adjustments to emulate this biltong. I am very pleased with this product and would order again.

Love taste. Like real Biltong from home. Would order more if price was less. Its pricy so only get it for special occasions even though I’d eat as a daily snack if it was better priced.

Best biltong so far. I like mine lean, thin cut, and more on the drier side than wet. Checked all my boxes!

I lived in South Africa for a few years and missed my boerewors and biltong almost as much as I missed the people! I've found a supplier of wors and have now found this biltong :-) It's not *exactly* like S.A. biltong, but so close it doesn't matter in the slightest. Very tasty, very fresh and so "more-ish" that I wish it was available on automatic re-order every month. If you even just think you want to try it - buy it! So damned good!

I have tried many different biltong makers in the US since moving here 25 years ago - from Texas to North Carolina to Brooklyn to California I’ve tried them all. I even tried making my own in a small New York City apartment, but that too, missed the mark. Then I ordered this biltong from Carnivores, and it just changed the entire game. THIS biltong here, IS the real deal. They are obviously using top quality meat, and the perfect spice mix to bring this happiness all together.. I will be a very regular customer!! And I hope they stick around for the next 25 years so that we can continue to enjoy the most delicious treat known to South Africans.

Dick Jerky. It tastes nasty, you can’t return it and you have to freeze it if you don’t finish it in 3 days. A pound. I guess I’ll just not eat anything else and freeze this because nothing tastes better than defrosted dick jerky. Won’t purchase again.

If you expect something similar to jerky, this is not it. This is good, but it's a completely different flavor & texture. I'm getting used to it, but, it's not great. Maybe this has to be something you grow up eating. I'm not going to reorder.
