A lot of Gristle
The taste is on great, but usually in the 2oz bags, 1/4 to 1/2 (on a bad one) of the bag is tendon or gristle that cannot be chewed. I prefer buying the slabs but they have not been available.

Definitely not comparable to anything I've had in Africa. Seasoning was bland and I was not impressed. Wouldn't buy this "biltong" again or suggest anyone else try it. Re: Boikeys Reply I appreciate the offer and hope you all the best. Take care.

It got hot in the mailbox and it seemed really warm. Maybe when you scale up (see what I did there...) you could ship with some sort of thicker envelope or a temperature moderated package. And, on a completely different note, I scoured the website ad the FAQs link was not working and I’m wondering if I have to refrigerate the productA? Still don’t know. Very tasty product.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the feedback. Being in the heat for short periods of time as long as the package is sealed is ok but as soon as the package is opened you should eat within a day or two before refrigerating. I will add to the FAQs. Thanks for the support. Preston

Just figured the packages of jerky would be bigger. 2 oz is not worth the 7 bucks
Response from BoikeysJul 2, 2020
Derek, Thanks for your order and feedback. Every 2 oz package is equivalent to a lean 5 oz USDA steak and takes 7 days to air-dry. This is the reason we have 30% more protein and half the sodium of typical jerky. Preston

My order went very smoothly, but the bag was much smaller than I anticipated (my fault by not noticing that it was only 2 ounces, but yikes eight dollars for a single serving?!). And in the end, I was just not a fan of the seasoning. I think the rosemary might be throwing the whole thing off. Perhaps the flavor is faithful to it’s South African origins, but it was an odd flavor that I could not bring myself to enjoy. Shame because the meats underneath is indeed quite good. If you guys offered more reasonable prices and a simpler recipe, I might come back

We are coming out with a new flavor that tastes like pastrami, that might be a more familiar flavor you get behind. We will not be lowering prices though. The process to get that premium meat snack takes 42x longer to make than jerky and is equivalent to a 5 oz steak. Thanks for your order and for the feedback.
