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... 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

Best tasting after buying multiple brands of biltong over the past 6 months. Packaging is very good as I always buy the bags which can be re- sealed, so stays fresh. No issues with delivery in the past 6 months either. Overall a cracking product which I will carry on purchasing till I am sick of it :-)

Tasty Biltong & a great Brand

I purchased the mixed box after seeing a friend's post about Ember on Instagram.
I love Biltong, and previously bought it from lots of other companies. I chose Ember partly based on the recommendation of my friend, and also to support a British business, especially during the Pandemic.

The product is great! The Garlic & Rosemary is my favourite by far, really subtle taste and leaves me full & not craving another snack.
The original is packed full of flavour too, the mix of spices in perfect balance. None of the products are too salty either.

I recently tried the Steak slices, which I found in Sainsbury's, and these were yummy (I ate the whole bag in 1 go!) :)
The addition of Quinoa into the slices struck me as a bit odd at first, but on tasting I was surprised. It adds a slightly nutty taste, in keeping with the steak taste.

All in all, I will definitely be buying again, and when the steak slices come back into stock in the website, I'll buy direct.

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
