About Up North Biltong
The original journey of the brand began when 3 Scotland Rugby players came up with the idea to sell biltong as a fantastic pre- and post-training snack. It was their mission to further the understanding of what biltong is and the benefits it provides. The new owners endorsed their same vision. After emigrating to the UK around 18 months ago, Roger, a passionate foody and outdoor enthusiast, and his eldest son Bryce, a cricketer, found it challenging to find biltong in the UK that tasted like home. Together they decided to develop a nutritious and authentic meat snack, meticulously crafted from a cherished South African recipe passed down through family generations.
Up North Biltong is a protein packed snack that champions your health. The combined attributes of grass-fed premium Angus beef, maximum protein, gluten free, low carb, low sugar ingredients make it an optimum nutritional body fuel for all “on the go”, outdoor and high-performance enthusiasts.
