About Steak Slices: South African Biltong Heritage

Steak Slices originate from the idea of South African Biltong. Biltong is dry cured meat - never cooked. This ancient preservation method creates a unique texture and flavor profile that sets it apart from traditional jerky.

Centuries Ago: Indigenous African Preservation

Centuries ago, the indigenous people of Africa preserved meat in salt, and dried it in the hot African sun. This fundamental preservation technique allowed communities to store protein for extended periods without refrigeration.

Settler Evolution: Adding Vinegar & Spices

Later, settlers of South Africa evolved this into biltong, cured with the addition of vinegar & spices. This evolution created the distinctive flavor profile that makes South African biltong beloved worldwide.

Long-Lasting Satisfying Flavor

Besides long-lasting satisfying flavor, it's low sodium, low carb, high protein and made with all natural ingredients. These nutritional benefits make biltong an ideal choice for health-conscious consumers.
