Call To Courage Biltong

The Juicer Jerky.

Thank you for supporting sustainable food producers in Guatemala.

I'm Gareth,

A full-time resident in San Marcos, Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Growing up in South Africa, Biltong was part of life. We enjoyed this dried meat snack in our lunchboxes, as fuel for adventure races, a wingman to a six-pack of beers or a protein boost when camping or hiking.

But when I moved to Guatemala, I couldn't find anything like it.

So, in partnership with a local organic food network, Enverdece, we sourced pasture-raised, grass-fed, non-GMO, anti-biotic-free buffalo, and I started making Biltong in Guatemala.

We become what we consume, from the air we breathe, the media we watch and the food we eat. When we bring presence, awareness and gratitude to what we consume, our bodies and beings reflect this positive intention.

I aim to live this way and believe this is how food can be medicine.

Before devouring the Biltong, please take a moment to appreciate how abundant nature is and that we're part of nature. This intention nourishes your body and honours all the energy that's gone into this snack.

Call To Courage Biltong is often sold out in locations around the lake and Antigua. We have a small production from our home on Lake Atitlan. By supporting this product, we're providing work to four Guatemalans who work with us. Your purchase also supports the Enverdece organic farmer's network and local shops and vendors that stock our product.

Thanks for stopping by and for supporting us on this journey.

How It's Made

Biltong is the South African name for the product that results from spicing and air-drying meat. It was a way to preserve meat from before refrigeration. Biltong can be made with any meat, but the best taste and texture is from red meat like beef, buffalo or other game.

The meat is soaked in vinegar, rolled in a secret mix of salt, black pepper and roasted coriander seeds and hung to dry from a week to a month, depending on the thickness of the meat. When it's ready, it's hand-cut and served to eat!

Our industrial-strength vacuum-sealed packaging solution keeps the product preserved for up to six months without the need for refrigeration.
