LEAN – Tasty Traditional Biltong.

The Biltong Man Ltd ® was founded in 2012 in the quaint town of Frosterly Durham by Glenn and Terri Crookes, who wanted to produce biltong of the same or even better quality than is available in South Africa, where the manufacture of biltong has been perfected over centuries

For Glenn, Terri and their daughters Roxanne and Atlanta, biltong wasn’t just a delicious snack that reminded them of their South African roots, it also had a practical health benefit; as a natural means of raising Iron levels in the blood to overcome Anaemia, which had become a chronic condition for Atlanta. Getting her to remember to take her Iron tablets was a nightmare, but getting her to nibble on biltong throughout the day was a synch and before long, her Iron levels had normalised.

But The Biltong Man ® wasn’t born purely out of necessity, its creation was fuelled by Glenn and Terri’s passion for this delicious and healthy beef snack that they knew would be a huge hit in the British market because of its unique and delightful flavour, texture and more-ish allure that would appeal to sports people and the health-conscious British consumer.
