Named after Johannesburg — South Africa’s vibrant, fast-moving city known simply as Joburg — our Grass-Fed Biltong Naked Tender Steak Slices — Garlic are built around bold garlic, paprika, and the clean simplicity of four real-food ingredients. Grass-fed beef, apple cider vinegar, salt, and garlic powder. Nothing more.
This is not jerky. Biltong is South Africa’s answer to the beef snack — air-dried rather than heat-dried, which preserves natural moisture, tenderness, and flavor in a way that no heat-dried product can replicate. The result is 16g of protein per ounce, 90 calories per serving, and zero sugar — a clean, whole-food protein that outperforms beef sticks and conventional jerky ounce for ounce, without the dryness.
How is biltong different from beef jerky?
Jerky is heat-dried at high temperatures, which removes moisture quickly but also toughens the meat and requires sugar and preservatives to compensate for lost flavor. Biltong is air-dried slowly over several days, which preserves natural moisture, tenderness, and flavor without any of those additives. The texture is closer to a tender steak slice than a dried meat strip — and the nutritional profile is significantly cleaner.
How does the Garlic variety compare to the other biltong flavors?
The Garlic variety is the most savory and aromatic of the lineup. The Naked Classic is the purest expression — just beef, vinegar, and salt. The Pepper and Coriander is spice-forward and traditional. The Lemon Pepper is bright and citrus-driven. The Chili is the most heat-forward. If you want bold, savory depth without heat, the Garlic is the right choice.
Does this need to be refrigerated?
No. This biltong is shelf-stable and does not require refrigeration before opening. Once opened, consume within a few days for the best texture and flavor. It is an ideal snack for travel, the office, school lunches, or post-workout recovery.

Best garlic snack I have ever had
"The garlic flavor is bold and real — not the fake garlic powder taste you get from most snacks. The texture is incredible. Tender, satisfying, and nothing like jerky. I keep a bag in my gym bag at all times."

Four ingredients and it tastes like this

Converted me from jerky for good
"I have been eating beef jerky for twenty years. I tried this on a recommendation and I am not going back. The texture is completely different — tender and moist instead of tough and dry. The garlic flavor is exceptional. This is what snacking should be."
