19.01.2022 NEW LOOK. SAME GREAT TASTE! Protea Foods have been making biltong in Australia since we arrived from Jo'berg almost 40 years ago. We helped pioneer the packaging of biltong in Australia. Innovation and advances in flexible film packaging allowed Protea Foods to make our biltong available to everyone across Australia. After many, many years we decided that it was time to update and refresh our brand and our packaging. ... Our packaging may look a little bit different but it still has the same great taste, flavour and quality for which we are known. Absolutely lekker! #biltong #betterthanjerky #poweredbybiltong #lekker

18.01.2022 HANDCRAFTED BILTONG SINCE 1980. This year commemorates Protea Foods 40th anniversary. From humble beginnings, South African expats, Richard and Sue Foy, embarked on a journey to provide other expats with comforts of home. They were one of the first producers of commercially available biltong in Australia with a dream to provide biltong to South Africans and Australians across the nation. That dream has come true. Thanks to all of the staff and customers who have supported th...e family business over these many years, which has made this milestone possible. #biltong #betterthanjerky #proteafoods

09.01.2022 What's the best thing to do while you're in isolation? The answer is: braai!!! I recently installed this gorgeous unit from our good friends at Barbaco WA. Vaughan was extremely generous with his time to help me select the right braai and then with the setup once it arrived. Great customer service.. The braai is amazing! The smell of boerewors cooking on natural charcoal is even better!... We have brochures in our store in Cheltenham with details about Barbaco WA's braais, or just visit barbacowa.com.au
