Bos Snacks, an adventure fuel company in Seattle, makes Biltong. Although similar to beef jerky, it is a beef snack with origins in South Africa and is better than jerky. The word biltong is from the Dutch bil ("rump") and tong ("strip" or "tongue"). It is made from the best cuts of beef and seasoned with a special blend of natural herbs and spices. That's it—ALL BEEF, NO BULL.
BOS is made in the same way that our ancestors have been making traditional biltong since the 1600s. Biltong gets its unique taste from the spice blend, the meat cut used, and the drying process. It is an excellent source of protein (14 g per single 1 oz serving) and a great healthy alternative to other snack foods such as chips and dip. The drying process allows the meat to retain most of its nutrients, including minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium, which makes it a great addition to your daily diet.
The process of drying rather than cooking means that the meat retains most of its nutrients, including important minerals like iron, zinc, and magnesium. For those counting calories, biltong is an excellent source of healthy nutrients.
To provide the highest quality biltong, Bos Snacks implements a thorough food safety policy. The program includes quality assessments of all raw materials utilized, different crucial control points such as water activity and drying process monitoring, and final product tests before it is confirmed as being of good quality. The facilities and methods were certified by the United States Department of Agriculture.
