What Is Droewors?
Droewors, which translates to “dried sausage” in Afrikaans, is one of South Africa’s most popular traditional snacks. It is made by combining quality beef, carefully selected fat and authentic spices before stuffing the mixture into sausage casings and air-drying it over several days.
The result is a flavourful dried sausage that offers a satisfying bite and rich meaty flavour.
Droewors has been enjoyed throughout South Africa for generations and is often served at sporting events, family gatherings, road trips and braais. Today it remains one of the country’s most loved snack foods.
Unlike many commercial dried sausages, authentic South African Droewors relies on quality ingredients, traditional spice blends and slow air-drying rather than artificial flavourings.
Why Choose This Is Biltong Droewors?
Quality starts with the ingredients.
We use premium British grass-fed beef and carefully selected beef fat to create the perfect balance of flavour and texture. Our meat-to-fat ratio is carefully controlled to ensure a rich flavour without leaving an unpleasant greasy feeling on the palate.
One of the biggest differences between our Droewors and many alternatives available in the UK is our use of 100% natural sheep casings.
Natural sheep casings provide a more authentic South African Droewors experience, offering a superior bite and texture compared with artificial casings commonly used in mass-produced products.
Every batch is made using traditional South African recipes and slowly air-dried to develop its distinctive flavour profile.
We are also proud recipients of a Great Taste Award, recognising the quality and flavour of our products.
How We Make Our Traditional Droewors
Our process begins with premium British grass-fed beef.
The beef is carefully trimmed and hand-cut before being combined with quality beef fat. We use only carefully selected fat that enhances flavour and texture without creating a greasy mouthfeel.
The meat mixture is then cured using vinegar and our carefully developed family spice blend.
After curing, the mixture is minced and stuffed into natural sheep casings before being hung in controlled drying chambers designed to replicate the cool, dry winter conditions of South Africa’s Kalahari region.
Over several days, the Droewors slowly air-dries while developing its distinctive flavour and texture.
The result is authentic South African Droewors produced using traditional methods and modern food safety standards.
Droewors vs Biltong
Many customers ask about the difference between Droewors and Biltong.
Although both are traditional South African dried meat products, they are produced differently.
Biltong is made from whole cuts of beef that are cured and air-dried.
Droewors is made from minced beef and fat combined with spices before being stuffed into natural casings and dried.
Both products deliver authentic South African flavour, but the texture and eating experience are very different.
Customers who enjoy a sausage-style snack often prefer Droewors, while those looking for sliced or whole dried beef typically choose Biltong.
Many South Africans enjoy both.
Freshness and Storage
We prepare and dispatch orders as close to production as possible to maximise freshness.
Our products typically have a shelf life of around 21 days and should be stored in a cool, dry place.
