Brooklyn Biltong Carnivore Snack, Air Dried Grass Fed Beef, South African Beef Jerky (2 oz, Pack of 2) - AIP Approved, Paleo, Keto, Gluten Free, Only Salt, Water, and Vinegar, Made in USA

I enjoyed it very much.

In late May, I ordered 3 packages of Brooklyn biltong, two bags to a pack. The sell by date on the bottom of the bags said 4/9/2025. Two bags were the normal Brooklyn biltong (you know, just a little too much gristle), but the other four bags were rancid.I had taken them on a trip so I would have protein at hand. Imagine my surprise when, on opening up each of the last four bags, the smell of rancid beef overwhelmed me and slunk into every corner of my hotel room.I contacted Brooklyn biltong (through Amazon), explaining that their bags were rancid. They sent me a snooty little note that I had ordered them in the fall of 2023 and they didn't need to replace them or refund my money.They've lost a customer. By my math, they owe me 95 dollars for the inedible and probably life-threatening condition of the biltong they sent me. I doubt I'm the only one who got a bad batch, but it seems they're denying culpability for their processing conditions.

Due to autoimmune conditions, I’m unable to eat plants (even most seasonings) so I was thrilled to find this. Personally, if they made one w just salt & no vinegar, I would be even happier. But this one tastes great & doesn’t trigger any of my health issues so it’s a win.

Don’t let it sit around.This stuff goes bad fast but is delicious when freshI ordered 4 bags and 1 of them came rancid so definitely some QC issues. Brooklyn Biltong has to look out for this because refunds for rotten product might affect the bottom line if this continues. The sell by date on my rotten package was in 2026 and I ordered it April 2025. You will know right away because it will feel kinda slimey and smell super sour. Thankfully Amazon gave me a full refund for both bags BUT other reviews say that Brooklyn Biltong the actual company won’t refund for rotten meat so if you buy this on Amazon, open it up right away and store it in the freezer if you have to. I might try to air fry or dehydrate them further for longer term storage.

I really love how organic and natural this beef jerkey tastes. It’s super delicious. One thing that I do not like so much is that there are a lot of tiny pieces and not enough big thick cuts of jerkey. But honestly it’s not that bad. I just prefer to chew more.

I understand that taste is subjective, but I didn’t enjoy the taste. and I cant give more than 3 stars.

I have histamine intolerance and terrible food sensitivities. I also love jerky (beef, bison, turkey, elk, and so on). Unfortunately, most jerky on the market is saturated in soy sauce and black pepper (both high histamine), is made from OLD meat (higher histamine!), and has a large number of ingredients (many of which are high histamine and/or a food sensitivity); I can have a running nose immediately and heartburn quickly that lasts hours after consuming. Dear god, have I tried most of the pastured and organic jerky out there! If I was in better health, I would certainly try to make my own, but, FINALLY, here's Brooklyn Biltong's "Naked"-- high quality beef, great flavor, and only 3 ingredients! I had ZERO histamine issues and ZERO heartburn. Considering I'm on the carnivore diet per doctor and nutritionist's recommendation for GI tract healing, I need more than what I can cook, and snacks to take with me... look no more!My three "cons" with "Naked" biltong, which may or may not be how it is for all flavors, are that it is moderately greasy, a bit stringy and hard to chew for some pieces, and the individual pieces are pretty small (there's a lot in each bag, though!). It's just not the easiest casual snack when you're out and about. Having a napkin handy and knowing where you can wash your hands is probably ideal... Ultimately, I appreciate everything about this product and I find the pure flavor to be so pleasant after years of over-seasoned jerky. I've finally found my snack staple! The only thing that could make it better... a little more for a little less $$, but that's not the way food is trending.

Texture is like raw fatty suet. No flavor. Not even sure this is beef. Thinking about having it genetically tested. Don’t buy this.
