Mr. Biltong is a Winnipeg-based company specializing in authentic South African-style meat snacks, including biltong and boerewors. Unlike conventional jerky, their biltong is air-dried at low temperatures, resulting in a tender, flavorful product that retains the meat's natural taste. They offer various cuts and flavors, such as Original, Spicy Cayenne, Red-Hot Habanero, and Teriyaki, catering to diverse palates. Additionally, their boerewors—a traditional South African farmer's sausage—is made fresh using a blend of Manitoba-raised beef and pork, seasoned with coriander, black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.
The company's founder, Jeremy, discovered biltong while working in South Africa in 2007. Enthralled by its unique taste, he learned the craft from a local colleague named Koos. Upon returning to Winnipeg, Jeremy was unable to find authentic biltong, prompting him to recreate it himself. Utilizing his engineering background, he meticulously refined his recipe through numerous trials. Encouraged by positive feedback from friends and family, Jeremy, alongside his wife Megan, established Mr. Biltong in 2017. Their venture is a testament to their passion for South African cuisine and their commitment to bringing those flavors to the Canadian market.
