Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great tasting biltong made with simple, natural ingredients. I like the texture as it's softer than jerky and has a satisfying meaty flavour. A nice portable snack to keep in the bag or the car, and i... See more

Excellent flavour and texture. Love the ethical ethos of the business. Only 4 stars because there's not many cheaper options. I could only buy the beef slices for £10 and everything else was combo pac... See more

Yummy!

The recent batches have been really great, nice large pieces and fewer crumbs in the bottom of the packet. Hard to limit myself though!

Excellent quality product

Excellent quality product: flavoursome beef with perfect moisture content-dryness. I grew up in South Africa, and biltong is in our very fabric! These guys have done a fantastic job of creating a superb product, despite not having the benefit of the hot African winds. Highly-recommended. The chilli one is my favourite, and packs a great punch of heat.

Tasty Biltong

I bought the Garlic and Rosemary, really tasty and a great snack! It just gets pipped by another brand I buy hence the 4 stars not 5, would definitely buy Ember again though.

Too much cloves

Original flavour, nice texture but just an overpowering taste of cloves and nothing else, i love biltong but sadly this brand is not for me

No biltong for me

Placed an order a week ago, made an order and paid for express delivery, got a tracking number from royal mail the same day, all good so I thought.
We are now a week on from my order but no delivery and no change in tracking from royal mail. Emailed ember to ask, told they would look into it. Messaged royal mail who say they’ve never received the package to deliver. So i’m here biltongless and £40 out of pocket. I always buy British where possible but this will be a company i’ll never order from again. Order no 7265

So glad I ordered direct.

I have to say, I've slowly started buying my products from the supplier/maker/manufacturer direct, the process was very easy, the packaging was brilliant and delivery fast. I have to say, the Biltong is absolutely out of this world, I've often gone for Jerky as usually Biltong is a bit fatty but these are cut so fine, so flavoursome and just great value for money.

Best Biltong I've tasted!

I have tried a few different brands of biltong and this one is definitely my favourite! I also love the variety of flavours. Highly recommend!
