But I also want to thank the couple responsible for making it. They are so friendly and authentic and it's clear that they put a lot of effort into their product and their business. You guys will be seeing a lot of me and I've already told my wife I want a Biltong Box for Christmas!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Rudie Niemand4 July 2023I received my biltong box today, i am thoroughly impressed!! It looks amazing! The biltong is in, drying as we speak! Thanks Billies and Tong, you guys made me and my household very happy! Keep up the good work!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.G16 June 2023Fantastic products, fantastic service. I got a 5kg biltong dryer box and biltong cutter. Delivery was quick. About 10days. Great craftmanship. The biltong box was already assembled part for the light bulb and door handle which was easy to attach. The fan runs nice and quietly. I love the natural wood finish. Natalie and Gerry got back to me immediately to answer any queries. Thanks guys.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Gavin Thompson30 May 2023I bought some biltong and boerewors for the first time this weekend for a braai with friends.

I've bought a biltong box, biltong cutter and various spices and had some issues with delivery on one of them and they delivered the products to my house themselves.

Not only do they make some of the most delicious and authentic biltong but they are just genuinely wonderful humans who support other local businesses as well as Eden Ministries in Zimbabwe. I have bought biltong and snapsticks on multiple occasions, and for sure will keep supporting this incredible company. The quality of the biltong has always been amazing, delicious, flavoursome, drool worthy and ever so moreish!

Just need a really really hot oneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jason Mathias8 April 2022My wife bought me a Biltong dryer for Christmas a few years ago, which has been fantastic and been used many times and still looks and functions as new. The thermostat is easy to set and works well to enable a consistent drying process. Despite having the Dryer to make my own, i can't stop buying Biltong from them. Their Chilli Bites are amazing and i've not been able to make anything anywhere near the taste of Billies & Tong. ...it's also nice to deal with nice people. These guys are great and the service is excellent. They respond to emails within hours and the product was received in fantastic condition and super quick...it was fresh from the dryer when they sent it too so hadn't been hanging around for ages. No mass production going on here, products are made with love and care by people who are so passionate about Biltong!!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Christina Bryan22 December 2021They are an amazing little company who have gone above and beyond in order to fulfill my birthday/Christmas prezzie of their absolutely gorgeous African table lamp before I travel back to South Africa. The lamp is really stunning and truly good quality. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will definitely be buying another lamp from them on my return!
