Is it actually raw meat?
No - biltong is not raw. It’s a traditional air-dried meat that’s been cured with salt and vinegar, then slowly dried to preserve it naturally.
This process makes it safe to eat, shelf-stable, and rich in protein, without the need for cooking or artificial preservatives.
How do I store my biltong?

What's the difference between Biltong and Jerky?
Biltong and jerky are both dried meat snacks, but they’re made very differently.
Biltong is cured with vinegar and salt, then air-dried slowly, resulting in a more tender texture and richer, more natural flavour.
Jerky is typically cooked or heat-dried, often with added sugars and marinades, giving it a firmer, chewier bite.
