What is Biltong and Droëwors? Biltong is the name for a traditional form of South African preserved meat. The name originates from the Dutch word BIL meaning buttock and TONG meaning strip. Biltong has it's earliest origins in Medieval Europe and was thought to be introduced to South Africa by the arrival of Dutch Settlers at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. Biltong has no comparison as a meat snack and is certainly not "beef jerky". Biltong is a gourmet delicacy that South Africans love to eat and it is made by salting, spicing and air dry curing selected cuts of Beef, Venison or Ostrich. Droëwors is a air dried sausage made from a mixture of Beef and Lamb and natural spices and herbs and is extremely popular in South Africa, Karoo Droëwors must contain lamb as without lamb there is very little flavor and it becomes just another meat stick
