Storing your biltong
So you got yourself some beefy goodness (biltong, droëwors, chilli stox etc) and you're keeping yourself from eating it all in one go. Firstly we'd like to applaud you and secondly, good on you for reading this to see how you should store your biltong products to keep it fresher for longer.
Storing Biltong
There are no preservatives in our products so storing it is important. Be sure not to store your biltong in a closed container as it will create moisture and let your biltong mould.
- Keep biltong in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- The best way to extend the shelf life of your biltong is to freeze it. You can freeze biltong either in brown paper bag or a zip lock bag, you can also freeze it in the vacuum pack we send it in. When you want to eat some of the biltong you can take it out of the freezer and let is "breathe" for an hour or so. Biltong thaws quite quickly. Do not defrost biltong in plastic bags, always put it in a brown paper bag or in a bowl to defrost. Consume within 3 days of defrosting.
- We vacuum pack the biltong that we send to you, sliced or whole. It is best to remove the biltong from the plastic bags and either consume it within 3 days or freeze it. We make sure you get your biltong fresh and can not replace products that spoiled because of incorrect storage.
How long can I store biltong?
When stored correctly, biltong can last for several weeks to months. Refrigerated biltong can stay fresh for a week or so, while frozen biltong can last for up to a year. However, for the best taste and texture, we recommend consuming it within a week of opening.
