Droewors: South African Dried Sausage
Droewors is South Africa’s favorite beef jerky stick – and it’s about to become yours as well! Droewors is similar to American beef jerky, but it’s savory instead of sweet. And while American jerky is smoked or dehydrated, droewors is air-dried.
Air-drying sausage can take over a week. But the wait is always worth it! The slow drying process produces a tender jerky that is much easier to chew than American jerky. Droewors also doesn’t contain any added sugar.

Droewors vs. Biltong
Biltong, droewors’ cousin, is the sliced version of South African beef jerky. Both biltong and droewors are made with beef, seasoned with coriander seed, and hung to dry.
However, while biltong is a whole piece of meat and only sliced after it has dried, droewors is ground beef mixed with fat and spices and stuffed in a casing to make sausage before drying. Biltong is also cured (i.e. marinated in salt and spices) before drying, while droewors is a mixing and stuffing process.
Biltong and droewors taste fairly similar. Biltong is a little saltier and moister than droewors, because it is cured.
Droewors Ingredients
Our droewors is made from beef (80/20) and pork (80/20). The 80/20 indicates the ratio meat to fat. It is usually stuffed in sheep casings for thinner droewors and hog casings for the thicker ones. We prefer the thinner ones.
Our partner butcher shop in Tennessee air-dries droewors the traditional way, using only the highest-quality cuts of beef.
The seasoning you’ll taste on our droewors includes coriander seed, the sweet spice found in curry. You’ll also detect hints of clove. Don’t worry – our droewors isn’t too spicy.
