Drywors / Droëwors – FAQs

What is drywors (droëwors)?

Drywors (Afrikaans: droëwors) is a thin, air-dried sausage—snappy bite, big flavour, zero cooking needed. It’s the on-the-go cousin of boerewors and a staple SA snack for road trips, rugby and braais.

What styles do you stock?

We rotate farm-style droëwors (classic spice, traditional bite), premium Wagyu drywors (soft, buttery mouthfeel) and sometimes chilli drywors for a lekker klap of heat. When in doubt, start classic; upgrade to Wagyu for indulgence.

Wagyu vs farm-style — what’s the difference?

Wagyu drywors blends beef with Wagyu fat for luxe marbling and a softer chew. Farm-style keeps that old-school spice profile and a slightly firmer bite—proper padkos energy. Peek here: Wagyu • Farm-style.

Is it fatty or lean? What’s the texture like?

Texture ranges from medium to firm depending on style and batch. Wagyu is richer and softer; farm-style is a touch leaner with more snap. For ultra-lean, see biltong sticks.

Ingredients & allergens

Check each product page for ingredients and allergens. Some spice mixes may include chilli or sugar (e.g., smokey BBQ variants). If you have severe allergies, WhatsApp us before ordering.

How fresh is your drywors?

Small-batch, made 2–3× weekly and packed fresh to order for flavour and texture. Learn more about our process: About Biltong Boytjies.

Storage & shelf life

Short term: cool, dry place in the original bag. Longer: refrigerate. Very long: you can freeze. Avoid sealed plastic at room temp (sweating → mould). Vacuum-seal is optional at checkout for travel/storage.

How does drywors compare to sliced/slab biltong?

Drywors = thin dried sausage (portable, snackable). Biltong = whole slabs/sliced with a broader fat/lean range. Many chommies keep both in the snack drawer—variety is king.

Great pairings for game day & road trips

Mix chilli drywors, Wagyu drywors, nuts and dried mango. Add a slab from sliced & slabs for a moer-lekker spread.

Kids, gym & protein snacking

Drywors is a tidy, high-protein snack for lunchboxes, hikes and post-workout. Pair with Snack Packs for balanced portions.
