There's biltong, then there's venison biltong: mildly spiced in the traditional South African way, with a rich, gamey flavour.

Woolworths' venison biltong is made using specially selected venison – gemsbok, springbok, blesbok, wildebeest, kudu, hartebeest, eland, impala or buffalo – that graze freely, so you can really taste the difference. And that's also why it doesn't always last longer than a day or two – try and resist not eating it all at once…

We've come up with two recipes to make your biltong go the distance: sweetcorn crumpets with venison bites for the salty-sweet balance you didn't know you needed, and venison bite trail mix. Need we say more?

1. Venison bite-and-sweetcorn crumpets

It may sound crazy but trust us: you’ll want venison biltong bites in all your flapjacks from now on! Sweetcorn, cheese and biltong are added to flapjack batter, then fried until golden, and topped with butter and a drizzle of chilli-infused honey. Yum!

2. Venison bite trail mix

This trail mix is the perfect snack for a road trip! Sweet, salty and umami come together quickly thanks to a few readymade Woolworths’ snacks. Think pretzels, nuts, dried fruit and venison biltong bites.
