No BS. Meat Snacks.

At Hunt & Gather, we make our small-batch biltong with high-polyphenol* cultures made from fermented plants. These powerful antioxidants help protect your body from
free radicals* and support a healthy gut microbiome. The result is a biltong that’s richer in flavour, easier to digest, and crafted with real functional benefits* beyond just protein.
*Polyphenols
Natural plant nutrients that help your body stay healthy. They protect your cells, calm inflammation, feed your good gut bacteria, and make digestion smoother.
*Free Radicals
Unstable little molecules that your body makes every day. If there are too many, they can damage your cells. Antioxidants help neutralise them so your body stays healthy and protected.
*Functional Benefits
Extra health perks your body actually feels. For example: supporting your gut, keeping your energy levels steady, and enhancing your overall wellbeing.

No BS. Just Biltong.


Most packaged biltong today is made for shelf life, with 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 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 made the traditional way.
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.
