Cured, Uncured, Dried and Fermented Products

From a classic salami to biltong and droëwors, these products turn time, salt and spice into flavour.

In focus

From a classic salami to biltong and droëwors, these products turn time, salt and spice into flavour.

Cured, uncured, dried and fermented products rely on carefully controlled chemistry and drying. Cure systems develop colour and flavour and support safety; starter cultures drive controlled fermentation; spice and seasoning define the character of the product.

Dried products such as biltong and droëwors are central to South African meat traditions, and the right spice and drying process are as important as the meat itself. Uncured options serve products made without added nitrite.
