Biltong Gift Pack Australia: Which Bundle to Choose?
Short answer: for someone new to biltong, buy the Biltong Trio Bundle. It is one bag each of Traditional, Spicy Chilli and Chakalaka Wagyu biltong, so they can taste all three and find a favourite. For a bigger gift, or for someone who already loves biltong, the Biltong & Drywors Pack adds a bag of droewors (dried beef sausage) to the same three flavours.

Which pack should you buy?
Buy the Trio Bundle if
- The person has never had biltong, or has never had Bilos.
- You want a small gift or a stocking filler. The 3 × 50 g size is the smallest and cheapest way in.
- You do not know which flavour they will like. Three bags side by side settle it quickly.
Buy the Biltong & Drywors Pack if
- They already eat biltong and you want to give them something new to try alongside it.
- The gift is for a household, an office or a party rather than one person.
- You want a bigger, more generous gift with two kinds of snack in it.
Looking for a biltong tasting pack?
The Biltong Trio Bundle doubles as a tasting pack. The 3 × 50 g size gives you one small bag each of Traditional, Chakalaka and Spicy Chilli, which is enough to taste all three side by side before committing to a bigger bag of your favourite. For the best comparison:
- Taste in order of heat: Traditional (2 out of 5), then Chakalaka (3 out of 5), then Spicy Chilli (4 out of 5).
- Have water and plain crackers between flavours.
- Once you know your favourite, step up to a 200 g, 500 g or 1 kg bag of that flavour.
Is a bundle cheaper than single bags?
Yes. Both bundles cost less than buying the same bags one at a time, and the saving grows with the size you choose. If you are already buying two or three flavours, the bundle is the better value.
What do the three flavours taste like?
- Traditional: savoury, coriander led. Heat 2 out of 5. AMIC silver medal.
- Chakalaka: peppery with a touch of mild curry. Heat 3 out of 5. AMIC gold medal.
- Spicy Chilli: chilli flakes, the hottest of the three. Heat 4 out of 5. Two AMIC silver medals.
If the person avoids chilli, the Trio still works because two of the three bags are mild to moderate. For a full side by side, read our biltong flavour comparison.
Biltong and droewors: what is the difference?
Biltong is sliced whole muscle beef that has been vinegar cured and air dried. Droewors is dried beef sausage in thin sticks. It is drier, snaps rather than tears, and carries more coriander and clove. Our droewors vs biltong guide covers it in detail.
Ordering biltong as a Christmas gift
- Free standard shipping on Australian orders over $99.
- Dispatch within two business days from our Sydney kitchen.
- No fridge needed. Biltong is shelf stable, so it travels well in the post and sits happily in a hamper.
- Order early in December. Holiday post is slower, so give yourself a buffer if the gift has to arrive by a set date.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best biltong gift pack in Australia for a first-timer?
A mixed pack with more than one flavour. The Bilos Trio Bundle gives one bag each of Traditional, Spicy Chilli and Chakalaka, so the person can work out which style they like.
Does Bilos sell a biltong tasting pack?
Yes. The Biltong Trio Bundle in 3 × 50 g is the smallest way to try all three Wagyu biltong flavours in one order.
Does biltong need to be refrigerated?
No. Biltong is shelf stable. Once the bag is open it keeps drying slowly, so reseal it and eat it within a week or two if you like it soft.
Is Bilos biltong gluten free?
Yes. All three flavours are listed as gluten free and halal friendly, and are made from Australian Wagyu.
Can I choose how dry the biltong is?
On single flavour bags, yes: medium rare, medium or dry. If the person has a strong preference, buy single bags instead of a bundle.
How much protein is in Bilos biltong?
Each flavour lists more than 20 g of protein per serve, which makes it a popular gift for gym-goers.
