General December Update!

Hello everyone! We’re back on the Baya Biltong blog for general December update.

First, the big news: We’ve officially launched! We’ve made our first batch of biltong, and we’ll begin shipping out our pre-orders very soon. If you didn’t get a chance to get in on the pre-orders, don’t worry! You can head to our shop right now to order your own batch of biltong today.

We’re also excited to announce that we’ll soon have our Droëwors and Droëwors Jerky available for purchase as well. You’ll be able to buy them individually or as a special three pack alongside our signature biltong. Check back to our shop to be the first to get your hands on our Droëwors and Droëwors Jerky.

Finally, we’d like to further discuss the future of this blog. As you may have seen, we’ve posted our first full blog post, detailing the origins and evolution of biltong. If you haven’t had an opportunity to check it out, you can find it here.

We plan on continuing to post fun and informative blog posts as we head into 2026, with a variety of subject matters ranging from inside looks at our Baya Biltong to more insight into South African culture, and everything in-between.

Honestly, we have too many ideas: In-depth looks at our biltong process, fun facts about the Springbok that’s featured in our logo, the best things to see when visiting Johannesburg, even a deep dive at South Africa during the holidays. There’s plans on even throwing in a few fun recipes that feature our biltong.

As we head into our full launch, we wanted to once again thank all of you for your support, and we’re very excited to bring our family favorites right to your door. Everyone here at Baya Biltong is excited to start this journey with you. We’re looking forward to sharing more updates and more interesting blog posts with you all soon!

And to our new friends, we’re happy to welcome you as well! Whether you’re an avid fan of biltong or just hearing about it today, we can promise that once you take a single bite of our incredible snacks, you’ll be hooked! We hope these family favorites become just as loved in your home as they are in ours.

We’re still putting the final touches on our new headquarters, so please hang tight as we prepare to bring you our signature line of handcrafted South African snacks. More information will be coming very soon!
