At Hunt & Gather, we make our small-batch biltong with high-polyphenol* cultures made from fermented plants. These powerful antioxidants help protect your body from free radicals* and support a healthy gut microbiome. The result is a biltong that’s richer in flavour, easier to digest, and crafted with real functional benefits* beyond just protein.
*Polyphenols
Natural plant nutrients that help your body stay healthy. They protect your cells, calm inflammation, feed your good gut bacteria, and make digestion smoother.
*Free Radicals
Unstable little molecules that your body makes every day. If there are too many, they can damage your cells. Antioxidants help neutralise them so your body stays healthy and protected.

Eat Like Utzi
Before supermarkets and snack aisles, people lived close to the land and trusted their instincts.
Utzi is inspired by real African hunter-gatherers, the original masters of meat, fat and wild plants.
Real food that fuelled a real life.
He is also loosely inspired by a remarkably preserved prehistoric man found in the European Alps, whose final meal was analysed and found to be simple and nutrient-dense: wild meat, animal fat and foraged plants.
Utzi is not a relic to us. He represents a way of eating that still makes sense today.
At Hunt & Gather, we follow that same philosophy.
We make real biltong the old-school way. Cleaner, smarter and better for your gut.

The Real Story
Every great food story starts with someone who cares....For years, Richard Bosman was that person. In a small South African curing room he quietly perfected the art of slow craft. Hand salting. Hanging. Letting time reveal flavour. No additives. No shortcuts. Just respect for the meat and the people who would one day enjoy it.
At the same time, the Gluckman family were building a legacy of their own. Four generations spent on farms, in markets and inside the heart of the local meat industry. They learned what great meat should be and, more importantly, how to honour it.
When Jerome Gluckman and Richard Bosman met, they realised they were working toward the same goal. South Africa deserved Biltong and Droëwors that is honest. Food made with intention. Products crafted with clean ingredients and real skill.
So they created...

How is your biltong preserved without chemicals?
We rely on traditional air-drying methods, plant extracts that are high in polyphenols and probiotics (from fermented plants) to keep our biltong fresh, flavourful, and safe to enjoy.
Does Hunt & Gather biltong contain preservatives?
No. Hunt & Gather biltong is completely free from artificial preservatives. We don’t use potassium sorbate, nitrates, or any other artificial additives.
Are you trying to change biltong?
Neva. We grew up on biltong. Brown paper bags. Rugby fields. Road trips.
Ours is still grass-fed beef, vinegar, salt and spices. Air dried properly.
We just removed artificial preservatives and used natural fermentation instead.
Is this even “normale” biltong?
Ja, of course its "normale" biltong.
Real biltong is beef, vinegar, salt and air. That is exactly what ours is.
The only difference is we use fermentation instead of synthetic E-numbers. If anything, that makes it more traditional than some of the “normale” packs on shelves.
Which probiotics do you use?
We use Lactobacillus plantarum.
It is a well-researched, food-grade culture used globally in fermented foods and meat production.
The strain is known. Our method is not.
How we apply it is our intellectual property.
Why use probiotics in biltong?
Simple.
Fermentation is ancient. Artificial preservatives are modern.
We chose natural biology over synthetic chemistry.
Is this really the natural option?
Do yourself a favour…
Next time you are in a shop, flip a few biltong packs over.
Read the ingredient lists. Count the preservatives.
Then ask yourself why dried beef suddenly needs a chemistry lab.
Ours does not.
Why does it cost more?
Grass-fed beef costs more.
Small-batch production costs more.
Natural fermentation costs more.
Artificial preservatives are cheaper.
We would neva.
Is Hunt & Gather biltong gluten-free?
Absolutely. We don’t use any gluten-containing ingredients in our recipes.
What type of meat do you use?
We use premium South African beef from grass-fed cattle, carefully selected for its quality, tenderness, and rich flavour.
Is Hunt & Gather biltong Halaal?
Our biltong is made using Halaal-certified meat. However, please note that it is produced in a facility that is not Halaal-certified.
Who is Utzi?
Utzi is our wild-hearted caveman mascot, the original hunter gatherer with a taste for real biltong. He says no to BS ingredients and yes to flavour. Think of him as the guardian of honest snacking.
