Fat vs. No Fat: Pretoria's Great Biltong Debate.
This September, we took the Jarvah team on a cultural pilgrimage to the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. Surrounded by authentic South African culinary masters, we tackled the age-old debate dividing cured beef purists across continents: Fat? or no Fat?

The Case For Fat
Purists argue that the creamy fat cap holds the key to a flavourful and delectable morsel which delights the taste buds.
The Clean Cut
Modern aficionados champion zero-fat silverside: intense beef concentration, clean high-protein nutrition, and an uncompromising chew that celebrates the slow-drying craft.
