How to Dry Biltong
Depending on the spices used, you can produce a variety of flavours of biltong in New Zealand. Biltong can also be made in colder climates by drying the meat using an electric lamp, but care must be taken to ventilate, as mould can begin to form on the meat.
The basics of Biltong Drying:
- Cut premium meat cuts along the grain into approximately 2-3cm thick strips.
- Begin with a vinegar wash before applying your spice mix. Our authentic spices provide the perfect traditional flavours.
- Hang your meat in a well-ventilated, controlled environment.
- Wait 3-7 days for your biltong to reach perfection.
Every biltong maker has their own spice preferences—if you’re not sure what you like, we’d suggest making a few thinner, quick-drying pieces to experiment with. For a more detailed guide, we recommend checking out our very own homemade biltong recipe.
How to Store Your Biltong
Proper storage is essential to maintaining biltong’s quality and flavour. Whether you’ve bought premium biltong online in NZ or made your own, follow these simple storage guidelines to preserve that authentic taste of home for longer.
Short-Term Storage
- Store in a paper bag or wrap in brown paper to allow the biltong to breathe.
- Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid plastic bags or airtight containers that cause moisture buildup and mould.
Long-Term Storage
- Vacuum-sealed packaging helps extend shelf life.
- Once opened, transfer to a paper bag.
Watch for signs of spoilage, including white powdery mould (not to be mistaken with the harmless white coating of salt or spices), an unpleasant smell, or a slimy texture. When you buy biltong in NZ, we suggest getting smaller quantities rather than buying in bulk to ensure it’s always fresh!
