For a long time I take care of me already with biltong, manufactured by "small" farms of German beef and according to our own recipes. Recently, I also tested Biltog following the original recipes from Namibia from antelope, kudu and Oryxfleisch. The taste was very good for me: Depending on the seasoning delicious and the taste of Fleiches not fall by the wayside ... once I got off to a mixture which was a bit spicy for me ... ;-)
Recently I wanted to test the "Jack Link" products, I ordered different flavors, including these. Sure, the production process is another, the biltong is only seasoned and air dried. Here is seasoned, cooked, and also dried.
The difference is about the same as that between the homemade jam of favorite grandma and what you can buy in the supermarket. The supermarket products are not bad but they are from the gustatory vote rather "mainstream". Just as the tried of me "Jack Link" products just as well.
But what my personal impression is that the Fleichstücke are very sweet, and that in everything I've tried. Although it tastes even the individual flavors, but the actual Fleichgeschmack is almost completely covered by the sweetness. Personally, I like the not so good. I like Fleich only because of his own taste, a seasoning must not take too much of it. I'm missing here a certain sophistication, the sugar covered everything.
Even my daughter (11 years), which so far only knew the other biltong, this sweetness disliked. Wahrschinlich it spieglet an "American" (?) Taste again, there you do indeed like more sweet BBQ sauces ...
My thing is not likely.
