STORAGE
If you have any Biltong left (most unlikely) and wish to store it then wrap the individual pieces in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer until required. However do not eat directly from the freezer but allow a few hours to thaw as frozen Biltong is tasteless.
Biltong can also be grated fine and used in dishes such as Biltong omelette, Biltong and Cheese Quiche and it also makes a great spread for Sandwiches
