Q1 2025

Biltong is a delicious form of air-dried, cured meat that finds its origins in South Africa, though the delicacy has now spread to countless countries around the world. Though it has gained immense popularity in recent years, this tantalizing dish remains difficult to perfect. Bossie’s Biltong is a leading provider of premium quality biltong, a tender and succulent recipe that has been masterfully developed and improved by the Bossie Family for over a decade. We find out more from Founder Neville Boshoff, below. Celebrate Culture, Quality, and Commitment with Bossie’s Biltong The journey of Bossie’s Biltong began with the Bossie family’s disappointment at not being able to find high quality beef biltong, and instead only coming across products with textures and qualities similar to dry, leather boots. When a friend gifted the family with their first “biltong box” in 2009, their lives were changed forever. This experience then inspired the Bossie family to create a range of premium quality, artisan biltong using only the finest cuts of beef. An enthusiastic blockman, Neville Boshoff took a leap of faith and sourced his first beef silverside muscle in the early hours of one transformative morning in 2009. Following much trial and error, Neville developed an outstanding recipe for his now-renowned biltong, handcrafted and air-dried to perfection then seasoned with a unique blend of herbs and spices for an authentic South African taste. Now, the family produce high quality, fresh beef biltong on a weekly basis in Taplow, South Buckinghamshire, using only the very best quality meat that has been sourced from trusted suppliers as well as indulgent wagyu from a farm based in Yorkshire. The company takes pride in using only 100% English bred and raised beef, meaning that Bossie’s Biltong is not only delicious but also ethically sourced, an important product quality to the company. Bossie’s Biltong’s operations built upon the core foundational values of sustainability, adaptability, transparency, innovation, collaboration, and passion. These core values guide the team in creating a working environment in which quality, consistency, efficiency, and customer satisfaction are placed at the forefront of every decision and action, helping the team to achieve their goal of producing high quality biltong at an affordable price. “Our decision to enter the biltong industry was not only based on business opportunities, but also on a deep-rooted personal connection to the food itself,” says Neville. “For us at Bossie’s Biltong, biltong is not just a snack – it is a traditional delicacy that brings people together. Whether it is sharing slices of biltong with friends and family on a Sunday afternoon or remembering the rich aromas of freshly cured biltong from childhood, we were all drawn to the cultural significance of the product. “Biltong is far more than just dried meat; it’s a culinary tradition that has been passed down through generations,” he continues. “South African in origin, biltong has become a beloved snack enjoyed worldwide, especially by those who appreciate its unique combination of flavours, textures, and history. Growing up in households where food and family were intertwined, many of us developed a deep appreciation for traditional recipes and drying techniques that we wanted to preserve and share with others.” Through this personal connection, Bossie’s Biltong realised that entering the biltong industry offered a unique opportunity to celebrate the team’s cultural heritage whilst introducing this incredible product to a broader audience. The company understood that authenticity was paramount to this mission’s success and worked to preserve the traditional preparational methods but saw that there was also a growing demand for biltong that was accessible and affordable. Today, Bossie’s Biltong has become a recognised name throughout the biltong industry, celebrated for its high quality, tender, succulent biltong. A renowned brand built upon a solid foundation of passion, authenticity, and innovation, Bossie’s Biltong has certainly reshaped the landscape of the biltong industry for the better. Neville tells us that over the next five years, the company plans to continue innovating and evolving to remain a trusted name in the biltong industry for years to come, demonstrating exactly why Bossie’s Biltong has been named the Best Artisan Beef Biltong Producer 2025 – Buckinghamshire in the Business Elite Awards 2025. “Bossie’s Biltong stands out in the biltong industry for its unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction,” Neville tells us. “Whether it’s our award-winning classic biltong or our exclusive olive-fed Wagyu biltong from Yorkshire, we continue to raise the standard of what biltong should be. Through a combination of traditional techniques, premium ingredients, and a focus on sustainability, Bossie’s Biltong is shaping the future of biltong, one tender, juicy, and flavourful bite at a time.” Contact: Neville Boshoff Company: Bossie’s Biltong Ltd Web Address: www.bossiesbiltong.co.uk Dec24098
