About Cruga
Cruga is the UK's leading biltong provider, delivering authentic South African dried meat snacks made to traditional recipes in the United Kingdom. Founded by South African expatriates from the Meatsnacks Group who brought their family's authentic biltong heritage to Britain, Cruga has become synonymous with premium quality, high-protein snacking in the UK market. What sets Cruga apart is their authentic air-drying process that distinguishes biltong from American-style jerky. Using succulent marinated beef silverside cuts, the meat is cured and air-dried to perfection, then finished with signature spice rubs. The result is an exceptionally nutritious snack containing approximately 50% protein with only 3% fat and 64 calories per 25g serving—making it ideal for health-conscious consumers and fitness enthusiasts. Cruga offers their biltong in original, chilli, and premium wagyu beef varieties, available in convenient 35g, 60g, and 300g portions plus bulk boxes. Their recently reformulated recipe boasts even higher protein content with reduced sugar, fat, and calories, while removing added nitrates—creating their cleanest, leanest biltong yet. All products are gluten-free with no artificial flavourings or preservatives. Beyond quality products, Cruga demonstrates commitment to conservation through their partnership with Save the Rhino International since 2019, supporting efforts to protect endangered African rhinos. Grocefully helps you compare Cruga biltong prices across Tesco and other UK supermarkets, ensuring you find the best deals on this authentic high-protein snack.
