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

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 supe... See more

I’ve seen how this company makes the product in Earls Coln and it’s not how described. Meat bought in from supplier and they mix different grades of meat so the product goes further and the management on site is terrible. Avoid

The beef jerky had 0 taste

The beef jerky had 0 taste. Had a chemical aftertaste and definitely wasn't worth 3.50. Even the texture was disgusting. Don't waste your money on this!

To thin

Although the taste wasn't to bad it was very thinly slice and not much to get your teeth into and only lasted 30 seconds so for £3.70 not much satisfaction

Best Biltong I've ever tried

Best Biltong I've ever found. I tried a variety of Biltong companies, but Ember came out tops for me. Tastes great. British and Irish Beef. No dodgy ingredients. Genuinely ethical company (I appreciate every company is trying to convince us that they're ethical but you have to REALLY prove it to get B-Certified). Credit to the company. I get mine on a rolling subscription from Amazon. I have half a packet every morning with a handful of mixed nuts. Tastes great together, it's quick, naturally high protein and keeps me going till lunch. (Forget protein bars, they're a chemical soup). I could do this for the rest of my life.

Absolutely delicious

Absolutely delicious, perfect post-gym snack, 50% protein and no added sugar. Especially recommend the Tingly Teds, just the right amount of heat!!

Best Biltong I’ve Ever Tasted, A Must-Try!

I’ve tried a few biltong brands, but this is by far the best. I’m in love with the taste, it’s delicious, made with top-quality ingredients, and the perfect protein snack to satisfy my appetite. It feels great to support a small British business instead of the big guys!

Although I adore their venison charcuterie the company itself leaves a lot to be desired. After discovering this product I soon realised I was buying volume quantities at retail prices. Lo and behold its possible to order straight from the company. Great right?

At first it was as I had 3x250g bags delivered every few weeks. Until one week my order didn't arrive. And then another order was missed. And another. Upon inquiring it turns out that Ember had cancelled my standing order without bothering to tell me.

I can understand having to cancel if the product on offer was no longer available but to do so without even bothering to inform me is highly disrespectful. So while the product is tasty the company itself takes it's customers for granted and treats them poorly.

If you're hankering for some tasty charcuterie treats buy straight from your local store and don't bother trying to deal directly with Ember Snacks.
