The first batch of Figure Ate biltong was made in a friend’s home kitchen. Here’s how it became a product.

The idea had roots in years of chasing cured meats across Europe — fennel salamis in France, prosciutto in Italy, charcuterie traditions that carried the flavor of a place. We wanted to bring that same sense of preservation and heritage back to Santa Barbara.

Biltong — a South African staple — was the answer.

In 2020, we tested: whole cuts of beef sliced into strips, marinated in vinegar, salt-cured, spiced, and hung to dry over a week in a wooden box we built with a light bulb and a fan.

By 2022, after 2 years of recipe refinements and tasting parties with the WBLT team, Figure Ate biltong launched.

Biltong and jerky might look like the same snack. They’re not.

Most jerky is cooked at high heat and sweetened with sugar, soy sauce, + preservatives. Figure Ate biltong is air-dried over 7–10 days with 4️⃣ ingredients: organic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, and coriander. No sugar. No additives.

🐄 The beef source can be different too. Jerky can be made from feedlot-raised, grain-fed cattle. Ours starts with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef from regenerative ranches. It shows in the nutrition: 0g sugar, 32g protein per serving.

👅 The texture: jerky can be tough, chewy, or sticky. Biltong is tender and steak-like — it’s more like a steak than a processed snack.

Finding good food should not be detective work — that’s why we love what Loot Grocery is building.

We’re excited to share that Figure Ate Beef Biltong now carries The Loot Key at Loot Grocery and will be featured in their special new product directory.

Loot Grocery reviews every product, ingredient by ingredient, before awarding the Key, building a group of brands committed to thoughtful sourcing and ingredients.

Big appreciation for independent retailers like Loot who are raising the bar for what’s on the shelf.

West Palm Beach friends—you know where to find us. 👋

Sweating? Hiking? Existing in August? This recipe’s for you 😉.

Our favorite summer hydration recipe is real ingredients + one pantry staple we always keep on hand: Figure Ate Persimmon Vinegar.

Mix:
💧 Water
🍋 Lemon or lime
🍯 Honey
🧂 Sea salt
✨ Persimmon Vinegar

The result is bright, lightly sweet, a little tangy, and surprisingly refreshing. Think lemonade’s cooler, more sophisticated cousin.
