Hunters Biltong

Hunters Biltong brings South African-style dried meat snacks to the UK, and if you like proper savoury bites with serious flavour, this is the brand to reach for. Whether you want traditional biltong or beef jerky, their range offers meaty, satisfying options that work brilliantly as lunchbox additions, post-workout snacks or just something to chew on when you fancy something different from crisps.

Original Beef Biltong and Jerky

The backbone of Hunters' range is their original beef offerings. The original beef biltong comes thinly sliced with a clean, savoury beef flavour and a texture that sits somewhere between chewy and crumbly. It's the kind of snack that makes you feel like you are actually eating something substantial, not just empty calories. The original beef jerky is chunkier and requires more work from your teeth, giving you a proper satisfying chew. Both come in convenient packs, making them easy to grab when you need a protein-rich snack without the crunch of crisps.

Flavoured Biltong Varieties

If plain beef does not excite you, Hunters offers two flavoured biltong options that pack real punch. The chilli beef biltong brings heat alongside the savoury meat, building gradually as you chew. It is not aggressively spicy, but it is noticeable and keeps your interest throughout the pack. The garlic cracked pepper biltong is more subtle and sophisticated, with the garlic providing a savoury edge and the black pepper adding gentle warmth. Both have the same satisfying texture as the original, so you get that meaty, quality feel with added complexity.

Beef Sticks and Droewors

Hunters also makes beef sticks, which are thicker and denser than biltong slices. These come in two flavours. The jalapeno beef stick brings a sharp, spicy kick with a slightly smoky undertone that works well if you like your snacks bold. The chilli garlic beef stick combines heat with pungent garlic flavour, creating something you can really taste. These are brilliant for occasions where you want something you can hold and nibble slowly, whether at your desk or out and about.

Why Choose Biltong Over Crisps

Biltong is not meant to replace crisps entirely. It is a different beast altogether. Where crisps give you that crispy, salty satisfaction, biltong delivers concentrated meat flavour and genuine chewing satisfaction. If you are after something filling and protein-heavy, biltong gets the job done. It travels well, keeps for ages, and does not turn into crumbs in your pocket like crisps can. Many people keep a pack at work or in their bag specifically because it lasts longer and keeps hunger at bay better than lighter snacks. They pair well with cheese and crackers, work in lunchboxes, and sit nicely alongside a drink without being as greasy as some savoury options. If you like the idea of proper savoury snacking with real substance, multipacks are excellent value, letting you try different flavours without committing to single bags. You can also explore our wider single bags of crisps and grab bags if you want variety in your snacking. Browse the full Hunters range above to find your favourite.

What is the difference between Hunters biltong and jerky?

Biltong is thinly sliced and has a crumbly, chewy texture. Jerky is chunkier and requires more vigorous chewing. Both are dried beef, but the cut and curing method differs, giving them distinct textures and eating experiences. Biltong melts more quickly, whilst jerky demands sustained effort from your jaw.

Is Hunters biltong spicy?

The original beef biltong and jerky are not spicy at all. The chilli beef biltong and chilli garlic beef sticks do contain heat, but it builds gradually rather than hitting you immediately. The jalapeno beef stick is noticeably spicy. Check the pack for exact details about heat levels.

How long does Hunters biltong last once opened?

Because biltong is dried meat with low moisture content, it keeps for a long time. Once opened, it stays fresh for weeks if kept in a cool, dry place. Proper storage matters, so keep it away from humidity and direct heat. Check the pack for specific guidance.

Are Hunters products good for high protein diets?

Biltong and beef jerky are concentrated protein sources with minimal carbohydrates, making them popular with people following high protein eating plans. However, you should check the nutritional information on each pack to see exact figures, as products vary.

Can I buy individual packs or only multipacks?

Every pack on One Pound Crisps costs one pound, whether you buy singles or full cases of crisps. We stock various quantities of Hunters products, so you can choose what suits your needs.
