The Biltong Merchant

The Biltong Merchant is a Hampshire-based independent food business bringing authentic South African biltong and droëwors to markets across the South Coast.

Founded and run by Stefan Venter, the business combines traditional flavours with modern production and packaging standards, ensuring consistent quality and freshness in every pack.

We offer a range of Traditional and Chilli biltong, droëwors, and seasonal gift packs, all made in small batches and sealed to preserve flavour. Our products are naturally high in protein, gluten-free, dairy-free, and ideal for customers looking for a wholesome, handmade snack.

As regular traders at markets in Portsmouth, across Hampshire, and the Isle of Wight, we take pride in engaging with our community and creating a friendly, welcoming experience.

With a strong focus on presentation and branding, we produce all our own photography and promotional content, helping us showcase the quality of our products.

The Biltong Merchant is committed to good food, great service, and sharing the flavours of South Africa.
