It is a meat product that has been cured to make it last for long periods without fear of it going off. Beef is the most commonly used type of meat but in fact many other meat products can also be used to make biltong.
This includes chicken, game, ostrich and even fish or shark can be made into biltong. Normally, it is made from long strips of meat but can also be found in shreds or slices
called biltong chips.

With its origins in South Africa, biltong is now enjoyed worldwide. Australia, New Zealand, UK, and the USA, all have large numbers of South Africans living in their countries, which can perhaps attribute a little to its popularity.
