Brooklyn BiltongAir Dried Grass Fed Beef Snack, South African Beef Jerky (2 oz, Pack of 2) - Whole30 Approved, Paleo, Keto, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Made in USA - (Original)

Best beef jerky type snack I’ve ever had. It’s like little slices of Peter Luger’s steak in a bag. Absolutely perfect seasoning.

Good product! I have purchase this before and will do so again in the future.

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.

Amazing flavor but only 4 stars because meat was greasy and going in and out of bag is quite messy due to greasiness.

Feel good be able to eat snacks that are healthy and tasty!

I bought this because I had a positive experience with the Original Kalahari Biltong and wanted to branch out.The flavor is about average. Unfortunately, the gristle in this brand is consistently a problem. I ordered a two-pack and found throughout, that no piece was really free of gristle in either pack. Secondly, and exacerbating the first point, many of the slices are really too thick to meet true biltong standards. I did give it three stars for positive customer service. I wrote and explained my evaluation of the product. They provided a second shipment free of charge. However, the quality of the product was still the same - just too much gristle and mostly far too thick.

Tasty, clean ingredients, that allow me to snack at the movies without breaking my carnivore diet.

*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.
