The Perfect Snap: Traditional Biltong Sticks
Sometimes, you don’t want to mess with a classic. Our Traditional Biltong Sticks are the purest expression of the curing art. Known to many South Africans as “Snapsticks,” these thin strips of beef are designed for one thing: a satisfying, crunchy chew.
Sliced vs. Sticks: What’s the Difference? While our sliced biltong is cut from a large steak after drying (often leaving a soft, moist centre), our Biltong Sticks are cut into thin strips before drying.
-
Texture: Because the air can reach all sides of the strip, they dry faster and more thoroughly. This gives them a firm texture that “snaps” when you break them. Flavor: The higher surface area means more spice coverage per bite. Convenience: No mess, no fuss. They are the perfect size to hold in your hand, making them ideal for eating while driving or working.
Local Ingredients, Traditional Method We start with lean New Zealand grass-fed beef. We trim away most of the fat to ensure a consistent dry cure. The strips are marinated in vinegar and dusted with toasted coriander seeds, cracked black pepper, and coarse salt before hanging in our Hauraki drying room.
A Nutrition Powerhouse If you are looking for a high-protein snack that isn’t processed powder, this is it.
-
Dental Health: The chewing action required for biltong sticks is great for jaw health and keeping gums strong (and it keeps kids quiet for ages!).
-
Keto Friendly: Zero sugar, high protein, and low carb.
-
Natural Iron: Red meat is one of the best sources of bioavailable iron, essential for energy levels.
