JERKY & TONG SPECIALISES IN PRODUCING THE TASTIEST & HIGHEST QUALITY Beef Jerky and BILTONG in Portugal
Biltong, a South African treasure, comes from the Dutch words "bil" (meat) and "tong" (strip). This air-dried meat uses a special blend of spices, including coriander, black pepper, and vinegar, creating a distinct flavor that's captivated food lovers worldwide. Unlike its American cousin, biltong is cut into thicker strips and dried naturally, without heat, resulting in a tender, steak-like texture that meat enthusiasts adore.
Beef jerky, on the other hand, tells the story of American frontier innovation. This thinly sliced, smoke-dried meat was a staple for Native Americans and early settlers who needed preserved protein for long journeys. Today's jerky continues this tradition, though with modern twists - from classic peppered varieties to bold flavors like teriyaki and ghost pepper.
Our journey is guided by simple principles: use only the finest cuts of meat, embrace traditional methods, and maintain unwavering quality standards. Every batch of biltong is crafted in small quantities, using a carefully curated selection of natural spices and ingredients. We believe that great food doesn't need artificial preservatives or additives – just time, care, and expertise.
