Product Info
Each batch is prepared and air-dried in our dedicated biltong room, where airflow and drying conditions are carefully controlled to produce consistent results.
As biltong is a naturally variable product, the texture, fat content and appearance may differ slightly between pieces. If you prefer particularly lean, fatty, soft or dry biltong, please leave a note at checkout. We will do our best to accommodate your request, subject to availability.
Customers who prefer a noticeably drier whole piece should ideally order a few days in advance so that we can select or prepare a suitable piece.
Storing & Preserving
How to Store Biltong in Mauritius: Keep It Fresh and Mould-Free
Biltong is cured and air-dried, but that does not mean it is indestructible. Like any ready-to-eat meat product, its quality and shelf life depend on how it is packaged, handled and stored.
Our biltong is sold in brown paper bags or vacuumed for long keeping or transporting abroad. It is best to keep your biltong in a paper bag and avoid refrigerating it immediately as it will dry out quickly. Keep the packet away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
Paper bags are better than plastic ones, as they keep the biltong from 'sweating' so it stays dryer for longer. It is a good idea to shake the bag regularly to promote airflow. If your biltong was purchased very wet, do this a few times a day. Try to eat the biltong within a few days, as it does start to dry out.
Can biltong be frozen?
Yes, biltong can be frozen if you are not planning to eat it soon. Freezing is particularly useful when buying a larger quantity that cannot reasonably be consumed after opening. It is best to vacuum pack biltong that is going to be frozen.
Frozen biltong should be thawed in the refrigerator. Once thawed, open the packaging, drain the biltong on a paper towel to remove excess moisture and then store in a paper bag or in an airtight container in the fridge.
Freezing can affect texture and flavour, especially over an extended period.
Our best biltong storage advice for Mauritius
Humidity makes sensible biltong storage particularly important in Mauritius. Keep unopened packets cool, dry and away from direct sunlight. Once opened, refrigerate your biltong, protect it from condensation and enjoy wetter varieties sooner.
And, of course, the easiest way to enjoy biltong at its best is to buy an amount that suits your household rather than storing an open packet for weeks as it will dry out in the fridge.
