Brooklyn Biltong Beef Jerky Gift for Men (Biltong Gift Box Pack of 7) – Premium Air-Dried Grass-Fed Healthy Beef, High Protein Keto & Gluten-Free Snacks, Whole30 Biltong Box, Made in USA

Nice and yummy for a South African craving

Classic! Simple ingredients, clean taste, medium thickness slices, not too dry, great coriander taste. Only 6 natural ingredients. Love it. Made in NC, not NYC - interestingly (I wonder if the factory manufactures for others).

I had ordered Brooklyn Biltong (original) a while ago in a 1 lb bag directly from the company website. It was great - very tender, very flavorful. Whether you think its accurate to South African homestyle biltong is subjective, but to me it had great flavor and was very tasty. Fast forward to last week (7/28/22) and my experience could not have been worse. Two bags arrived from Amazon (fulfilled by Brooklyn Biltong) and I was super excited to have it again. Both 16 oz bags were quite pressurized when they arrived. I opened one, reached in, and ... ick. The texture was fine, the tenderness was what I recall, but wow was the flavor off. It was like I ate a small handful of biltong coated in unscented hand soap powder or something like talc - EXTREMELY dry and left a weird "I can't get it out from under my tongue" feeling. Very strange. The first bag I opened was missing a proper ziploc either - it has only one side of a ziploc back. Whatever. I reached out to the company via email and phone and no reply now in about a week. I decided to open the other bag to see if maybe the one was just compromised by the seal or something - nope, also terrible. A real shame because I had recommended this brand to friends, too. Looking through reviews here on Amazon and it seems like it's the same story - very inconsistent product, sometimes moldy (ew?), no reply from the company in any form. So frustrating and this is NOT a cheap food product. Will not order this again.

I love this flavor. It’s spicy and the meat texture is so amazing. Not your typical jerky. It’s 3/5 not 5/5 because the last batch of packages I got had an odd aftertaste. Eating it was fine but then it would leave a weird feeling in your mouth as though you didn’t eat it and some remnants were on your tongue and teeth. Kinda like after eating a green banana when it’s not ripe. Didn’t have that the first time I ordered. Maybe a bad batch.

I've always wanted to trek to the high seas and down the Ivory Coast, making my way to South Africa. Alas, I have yet to have the chance. But with Brooklyn Biltong, I felt like I was part of that great adventure. From the moment the package arrived in the mail, I was excited to dive in. The three different colors of the packages was really enticing. Which flavor first - red, yellow, or blue!? I went with the original flavor first (red) to get a real sense of the product. As I opened up the package I was overwhelmed with the smells of air dried goodness, with a hint of coriander. With just enough bite, I went into paleo heaven. As a gym and health nut, this was the perfect treat after I blasted off reps of 350lbs. It gave me the energy I needed to really make my way through the day before hitting the club later than night with my bros. But how can we forget about the other flavors? Jo'burg steakhouse? O.M.G. I legit thought I was hanging with the late great Charlie Palmer nibbling down on some garlicy cow goodness. The Peri Peri BROUGHT. DA. HEAT. I felt like I was on trial with all that SPICE. This is the real deal. You don't need to go to Brooklyn to wear skinny jeans and you don't need to hop on a plane to South Africa to get the whole experience. Worth. Every. Bit. Of. My. Hard. Earned. Cash. DO IT.

These have a great flavor! I love the thin slices and the simple ingredient list. Some of the pieces were a bit too grizzly for me though and hurts the overall taste consistency for me as I don’t like the taste of those fattier pieces. Overall I would buy again.

Amazing beef jerky. Love the taste.

*UPDATE TO POST* I only recommend purchasing the "original" Biltong flavor in the blue packaging that I originally gave a 5 start rating. I purchased 2 orders of 4 packages over the past 2 months and thoroughly enjoyed eating them. I unfortunately purchased for the first time an order of 2 packages of the "lemon pepper" flavor in the yellow packaging. The beef was very fatty and oily to the touch. The beef contained so much fat, it actually tasted very gamey. I thought I was eating lamb. I was very disappointed in the "lemon pepper" flavor. There is nothing worse that eating dried fatty beef. Stick with the original flavor and stay away from the lemon pepper flavor. *ORIGINAL POST* Great option for a high protein diet needed before major surgery. I was drinking 30 gm protein shakes and eating 20 gm yogurt cups in order to get ready for surgery. Adding Biltong was a great option for a high protein snack.

Yes it was good. Would help if i knew it was halal or not but other than that good product
