About Jan Biltong

Have you heard about the best biltong in town and believed it? Staying true to this 'mantra' is the Jan Biltong group featuring four franchises in Strand (Strand Biltong), Vergelegen Somerset West, Suidwes (Suidwes Biltong) and Hermanus.

Celebrating the age-old (more than 400 years!) tradition of meat air drying, Jan and his team remain true to the principles of supplying excellent products many South Africans continue to adore. Jan Biltong recalls himself as a child of Africa.

He was born and raised at the foot of the Maloti Mountains in Lesotho, where his father taught him everything he knows to perfect meat drying. His father was dedicated to providing for his family and directly sourced the food they required by hunting in the area. 

At that time, they had to make do without fridges and preserved the meat in a cement cooler.

Jan grew up with this tradition and refined his skill to prepare meat and biltong. 

Yellow fat biltong was a favourite pastime snack during his family's coastal vacations. Their holiday neighbours and friends swooned over the deliciously meaty treats. This inspired Jan to continue his father's legacy and share it with all biltong lovers.
