The Original Biltong Company Beef Biltong

The Original Biltong Company is a specialized British meat snack producer founded in 2016. Based in Chesham, United Kingdom, the brand was established to bring traditional South African-style biltong to the UK market. Unlike jerky, which is sliced and then smoked or cooked, their biltong is air-dried and cured using vinegar and traditional spice blends before being sliced.

The company prides itself on using high-quality British and Irish grass-fed beef. Production is centered in the United Kingdom to maintain strict quality standards and adhere to traditional curing methods. As of 2026, the brand remains an independent entity, maintaining its focus on craft-style snack production rather than being absorbed by a large multinational food conglomerate. This independence allows them to focus on the authentic, air-dried process that defines the product's identity.
