Original Grass Fed & Finished Beef Biltong
2x Good Food Award Winner (2026 & 2023).
32g protein, zero sugar, 5 clean ingredients — each bag starts as 5oz of whole grass-fed beef, air-dried 14 days down to 2oz of pure protein.
2-TIME GOOD FOOD AWARD WINNER
The Good Food Awards are one of the most rigorous distinctions in American craft food. Winners are selected through a blind tasting by a jury of chefs, food journalists, and industry experts — and every finalist must pass a supply chain review examining sourcing, environmental practices, and producer standards. And, of course, deliver on taste.
Our biltong won in 2023. The rules require a three-year wait before submitting again. We entered in 2026, in the same Snacks category, and won again.
Winning twice — against a fresh field of competitors — says something about what we're building.

"Grass-fed" means cattle are raised on grass and forage rather than grain. "Grass-finished" means they stay on pasture their entire lives — never moved to a feedlot and fattened on grain before slaughter, which is standard in conventional beef production.
Research has shown that grass-fed and finished beef contains higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids and a healthier ratio of Omega-3s to Omega-6s compared to grain-finished beef. All Figure Ate biltong is made from 100% grass-fed and finished beef.
