How does Stryve Biltong differ from beef jerky?

Biltong is made from thinly sliced steak that’s air-dried and cured with vinegar and spices, giving it a softer texture and a more robust, tangy flavor than beef jerky. Unlike jerky, which is typically cooked or smoked, biltong is a traditional air-dried beef product.

One of the key nutritional advantages is that dried beef is naturally high in protein, and biltong takes it a step further by giving consumers more protein per serving. In fact, biltong often contains up to 60% protein by weight, compared to jerky’s 35–50%, making it an excellent choice for protein-conscious snackers.

Additionally, biltong is commonly made with minimal ingredients and is often gluten-free, which appeals to clean-eating and allergen-sensitive consumers.

How can I tell if biltong has gone bad?

Biltong, like any natural beef snack, can spoil if not stored properly. Signs that your air-dried biltong has gone bad include visible mold that doesn’t wipe off with vinegar, an unusual taste, or if the beef appears slimy or fails to dry correctly.

As an alternative to traditional jerky, biltong is made without smoking and retains more moisture, making proper storage even more important. Always keep it in a cool, dry place, and when in doubt, it’s safest to discard any questionable pieces.

Is Stryve Biltong raw meat?

No, Stryve Biltong is not raw meat, but it differs from traditional jerky. Instead of being smoked or roasted, it’s made from air-dried beef that's soaked in a salt-and-vinegar brine and then slowly dried to preserve flavor and nutrients.

While traditional jerky gives consumers a firmer, smokier texture, biltong offers a naturally tender bite that’s packed with protein, perfect for those seeking a clean snack. 

Does Stryve Biltong contain additives, preservatives, MSG, or nitrates?

No, Stryve Biltong contains no additives, no MSG, no nitrates, and no preservatives. It’s a gluten-free and keto-friendly, and dairy-free snack made from premium cuts of beef in every serving. 

With zero sugar and a sugar and ultra clean ingredient profile, Stryve is perfect for health-conscious snackers who want something natural, flavorful, and packed with protein. And because beef is naturally gluten-free, it’s a smart jerky alternative for those with dietary restrictions.
