Braaitime Droƫwors

braaitime droewors
Braaitime is a brand of gourmet cured meats based out of Keansburg, NJ. The company was started in 2005 by Warren Pala. Warren immigrated from South Africa in 2001 and sought to introduce Biltong and Droƫwors to Americans.

Warren claims to be the only brand of biltong & Droƫwors holding true to the old world methods. "All other makers of Biltong have followed the 'jerky' method in order to achive USDA approval. They cook the meat to a certain temperature for a certain amount of time". Warren was able to get USDA approval with the help of local Italians who had already convinced USDA inspectors that their prosciutto & capacolo are shelf stable.

Droƫwors is a type of dry sausage popular in Africa. It's a beef sausage in natural lamb casing, spiced in clove, nutmeg, coriander, and black pepper. Braaitime uses whole muscle Angus Beef, and also offers Droƫwors in other flavors like Peri Peri, Chorizo, and Hatch Green Chile.
