Biltong & Droewors
No BS. Meat snacks.
This is a tooltip
Instead of chemical preservatives, we use good-for-your-gut plant extracts and probiotic cultures to help keep our biltong fresh.
How do these probiotics and plant extracts work?
Probiotic cultures and plant extracts help create an environment where unwanted bacteria and mould struggle to grow.
The good bacteria help crowd out unwanted bacteria by competing for space and nutrients, while the plant extracts provide additional protection to help keep our biltong fresh.

No BS. Just Biltong.
Most packaged biltong today is made for shelf life, with chemical preservatives, nitrites and unnecessary additives.
We looked back to ancient South African hunter gatherers who lived on simple, real food. Meat. Plants. Fats. Nothing artificial.
Utzi personifies those ancient ways…We make biltong the traditional way. Only simple ingredients and fermented cultures.
No artificial preservatives, ever.

What the FAQ
We rely on traditional air-drying methods, plant extracts that are high in polyphenols (natural compounds found in plants) and probiotics (from fermented plants) to keep our biltong fresh, flavourful, and safe to enjoy.
No. Hunt & Gather biltong is completely free from artificial preservatives. We don’t use potassium sorbate, nitrates, or any other artificial additives.
Ja, of course its "normale" biltong.
Real biltong is beef, vinegar, salt and air. That is exactly what ours is. The only difference is we use fermentation instead of synthetic E-numbers. If anything, that makes it more traditional than some of the “normale” packs on shelves.
We use Lactobacillus plantarum.
It is a well-researched, food-grade culture used globally in fermented foods and meat production.
The strain is known. Our method is not.
How we apply it is our intellectual property.
Simple. Fermentation is ancient. Artificial preservatives are modern. We chose natural biology over synthetic chemistry.
Absolutely. We don’t use any gluten-containing ingredients in our recipes.
We use premium South African beef from grass-fed cattle, carefully selected for its quality, tenderness, and rich flavour.
Our biltong is made using Halaal-certified meat. However, please note that it is produced in a facility that is not Halaal-certified.
You want biltong and droëwors like your "oupa" made it.
Most packaged biltong on the shelf today barely resembles the traditional biltong South Africans grew up with. Mass production, added preservatives, and shortcuts have replaced the slow curing and honest ingredients that once defined it.
Richard Bosman spent years mastering the art of slow curing meat, using traditional methods and real patience to develop deep, natural flavour.
The Gluckman family brought four generations of experience from farms, markets, and the heart of the local meat industry.
Together, they built Hunt & Gather to bring packaged biltong back to what it should be, clean label, traditionally made, and true to the real thing.
No artificial preservatives. No added MSG. Zero added sugar. Nitrite-free. Certified gluten-free. No added hormones.
And unlike anything else on the shelf, Hunt & Gather goes further, made with probiotics.
We have officially partnered with the Sharks as their Official Biltong Supplier for the 2026/27 season. This landmark partnership redefines biltong not just as a stadium staple, but as a clean, high-performance protein source capable of fuelling professional athletes through rigorous elite-level competition.
“Biltong has always been part of how South African players eat, and our job is to make convenient protein options available that the squad will actually reach for,” says Jimmy Wright, Team Biokineticist at the Sharks.
“What we appreciate about Hunt & Gather is the attention to the product, from the grass-fed beef to the way it is made. It is a good fit for our team environment, and we are pleased to have them supplying the squad this season.”
The exclusive agreement will see Hunt & Gather’s biltong and droëwors integrated directly into the Sharks’ squad environment throughout the season.
