Brooklyn Biltong
Protein-packed Air Dried Beef (Biltong)

Ben and Emily, reminiscing about their wedding reception, kept coming back to their friends excitement over the small batch of ‘kitchen biltong’ happily devoured at the reception. This made Ben and Em think about the opportunity there was for biltong in the States. As they ate, they were sharing food with some homeless as they passed by. Ben said, “I wish we still had some biltong to give them.” And like a light flipping on, from those two moments, Brooklyn Biltong was born.

Brooklyn Biltong is founded on two goals: to introduce biltong to America, and make a difference in our neighborhood while doing so.”
