Original Kalahari Biltong, Air-Dried Thinly Sliced Beef, 2oz (Pack of 8), Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Keto & Paleo, High Protein Snack

I tried this based on reviews and curiosity as an avid "normal" beef jerky master maker and eater. I agree with some of the reviews of a slight "earthy" taste but it's in a good way. It has (for me, not the rest of my friends) an odd after-taste that I was unfamiliar with but didn't mind. After my second bite I was all in. I'd give the original 4 and the garlic a 5. It's expensive but based on how it's made, expected. In my opinion, this is a less salty version of jerky with a great taste and should be tried by every jerky enthusiast. Again agreeing with other reviews, it is soft, very thin and a different taste than normal tough jerky. I only eat non-sugar (brown) cured meats and will continue to buy this product. I have not tried other brands but will if the price is right so I can give a comparison.

I first ordered this product on a lark; having never tried biltong before, I was notably curious as to what it'd be like and tried a pack. The biltong was quite tasty -- the tastiest of the brands I tried -- and it came with a rather lovely handwritten note. Deciding to reward the combination of product and customer service, I promptly ordered another pack. This started a bit of a back-and-forth: I'd get a pack of biltong with a note (usually suggesting that I try the spicy peri-peri flavor despite, unbeknownst to the note's author, my spectacular hatred of spicy food) that made it abundantly clear that the manufacturer was aware and appreciative of my orders. Then came Hurricane Irma. Shortly before Hurricane Irma appeared to be heading directly for my house in Southern Florida, I had placed another of my recurring orders for delicious biltong. Unfortunately, when it appeared apparent that the storm was not going to spare my home, I packed as much into my car as I could, canceled most of my outstanding orders on Amazon, and fled the state. The poor packet of biltong in question, however, had already shipped. When I finally managed to find a hotel with an available room after more than six hours of searching for one on the road, nearly falling asleep at the wheel on countless occasions as I journeyed away from the catastrophic storm, unsure of whether my house would be waiting for me when I returned, Amazon kindly informed me that my order of biltong might be delayed. My response was surprisingly vocal given the time of night and generally involved the negation of fecal matter in somewhat explicit and vulgar terms, echoing my subsequent response to Disney's announcement later in my evacuation that they would be closing their water-parks on the days that the hurricane was expected to pass through. As the packet of biltong was redirected from place to place, I continued to get notices... and I found my attitudes changing. In my panic-driven and sleep-deprived state, my semi-delirious mind couldn't help but anthropomorphize the bag of snack food, imagining it as heroically charging into the storm, trying to reach a destination that might not even be there when it finally arrived, and unknowing that I had already fled and would not be able to enjoy its peppery goodness even if it did manage to get there. I found myself somehow lacking, as if my choice to flee the storm could not stand up to the courage being shown by an inanimate object. Is not one man's prudence another man's cowardace? Does the travel of a pack of biltong not inspire a standard for us mere mortals to live up to? Or perhaps might I really, really need a nap? I eventually rode out the storm in the foothills of South Carolina. As I rested, building up the courage to return, I finally recieved one last notice from Amazon about the delivery: My pack of beefy goodness had finally been delivered, providing me with reasonably conclusive proof that yes, my house was still there to return to... and, when I finally made it back, the tasty, delicious biltong was there awaiting my return, as if to greet me at my (thankfully still-intact) door. I honored its journey in the only way I could: I promptly ate it and placed a new Amazon order for a three-pack. Today, the courageous pack of biltong enjoys a place of honor in my trash-can, and the biltong itself sits within my stomach (or perhaps the commode, given the foibles of the human digestive system). My house is almost entirely intact -- although the less said about the original contents of my fridge, the better -- and the sacrifice of the heroic biltong in helping me not need to immidiately replace said contents will not be forgotten. As for the product itself? Well... Pros: Tasty and flavorful source of protein. Cons: Kinda expensive, and the packs aren't all that large. Also, given that this is a food product, be aware that a major natural disaster of sufficient magnitude to force the governor to evacuate large portions of your state heading directly for your home may cause the delivery to be delayed by a week or two.

It’s a good tasting dry beef jerky. No one in my house lines the wet beef jerky and they all prefer this kind and brand.

Taste like nothing 🤣🤣😭 no flavor plastic thin beef. It’s nasty and the no sugar high protein ect., it’s true, but nasty.

Pricy but if one likes biltong, this is good stuff. Takes me back to Southern Africa days. For those who have not eaten biltong, there is no comparison to the hideous mix in the USA referred to as jerky. This is real, dried meat with a few spices - little fat and no preservatives. It is tasty and nutritious and perfect for hiking, backpacking etc.

I'd like to start with saying that I love this jerky and buy it by the box. I support this company because they are the only jerky not pumping garbage nitrates and soybean oils into their jerky. The taste is amazing and texture outstanding. With that being said (and I dont know if it's because it sits on amazons shelves) but the last batches have just been crumbly bits. Next time I'm going to try and order from their stores to see if there is a difference. Anyways- best jerky

Excellent thinly sliced Biltong. Great high protein (32g) and less than 1g of carbs. Perfect snack when avoiding carbs.

water tastes strange.
