A BIT ABOUT JAN

Our Jan Biltong, Strand Biltong and Suidwes Biltong stores allocated in the Cape Winelands and Overberg region stock quality dried and cured meat.

Celebrating the age-old (more than 400 years!) tradition of meat air drying, Jan and his team remain true to the principles of supplying excellent products many South Africans continue to adore.

JAN

Jan Biltong recalls himself a child of Africa.

He was born and raised at the foot of the Maloti Mountains in Lesotho, where his father taught him everything he knows to perfect meat drying. His father was dedicated to providing for his family and directly sourced the food they required by hunting in the area.

At that time, they had to make do without fridges and preserved the meat in a cement cooler.

Jan grew up with this tradition and refined his skill to prepare meat and biltong.

Yellow fat biltong was a favourite pastime snack during his family's coastal vacations. Their holiday neighbours and friends swooned over the deliciously meaty treats. This inspired Jan to continue his father's legacy and share it with all biltong lovers.
