Woolworths has always led the way with unique biltong flavours. From trout and Wagyu biltong, to ostrich and even tuna biltong – it's clear they take biltong very seriously. Now, they’ve outdone themselves with bacon biltong. Made from wood-smoked streaky bacon and packed with a perfect blend of spices, this product brings together the best of both worlds. With its rich, fatty texture and smoky, spicy kick, it’s the snack we didn’t know we needed. Choose from BBQ smoked or chilli smoked – either way, you won’t be disappointed.

Broccoli salad with bacon biltong

Broccoli often gets a bad reputation for being a boring vegetable, but this salad is anything but! Forget bacon bits – the smoky, rich bacon biltong adds a whole new depth of flavour to this salad. Combine it with crunchy croutons, pickled red onions and a tangy and creamy dressing for a salad that’s bold, satisfying and perfect for any occasion. It’s the kind of salad that could steal the spotlight at your next braai.

German potato salad with bacon biltong


Ditch the usual mayo-based potato salad and try this alternative. Boil the potatoes in stock for added depth of flavour, then toss in a mustard-and-vinegar dressing. Add the smoky bacon biltong for texture and smoky-sweet flavour. Bonus: this salad tastes even better the next day when the potatoes have absorbed all the flavour.
