Eland Butchery Venison Biltong is a traditional South African biltong made from the meat of the eland, a large African antelope. It belongs to the game biltong category and is one of the specialist meat products offered by the family-owned Eland Butchery in Boksburg, which has been operating since 1969.
The product is prepared from carefully selected cuts of lean eland meat, which are seasoned, cured, and gradually dried to reduce their moisture content and concentrate their natural flavour. Eland Butchery sources its game meat from trusted South African suppliers, with an emphasis on quality and traceability.
Eland Biltong has a firm yet pleasant texture, a low fat content, and an intense, mildly earthy flavour characteristic of game meat. It can be enjoyed on its own or included on a platter with cheese and nuts.
