Yellow Fat Biltong
Full product description
Rich, savoury and properly traditional, our yellow fat biltong is air-dried beef with a generous golden fat cap for extra flavour and a buttery finish. Sliced to order for the perfect chew, it’s seasoned simply so the beef and fat do the talking—deep, nutty and immensely satisfying. Snack straight from the pack, add to grazing boards, or fold into salads and omelettes for an umami kick.
