🕰️ Brief History:
Biltong originated in Southern Africa centuries ago as a preserved meat food created by curing and air-drying meat using vinegar, salt, and spices. Dutch settlers adapted European meat-curing traditions to local African conditions, eventually developing what became modern South African biltong. Unlike jerky, traditional biltong is usually air-dried rather than heat-cooked.
Hunt & Gather modernised this traditional food by focusing on:
- Grass-fed beef
- Small-batch artisan production
- No artificial preservatives
- Probiotic and fermented plant culture integration.
The company states that its philosophy is inspired by traditional “real food” preparation methods combined with modern functional nutrition ideas.
