An aerospace engineer by trade, John Denning started making biltong about three years ago in a small biltong box and had good feedback. Little Sutton Biltong Company advertises as using all 100% grass-fed beef with no artificial anything as only the very best ingredients are used, including the silverside cut of beef. John states that his biltong has been a challenge to make using no preservatives, but the result is well worth it.
Selling to friends and family on Facebook since 2017, John will soon be increasing production capacity to keep up with demand. John is pretty meticulous about quality, so he wouldn’t like to expand to a point where quality could be compromised, but that is going to change soon using some space-age tech in a drying room, but that is John’s secret😉. Little Sutton Biltong Company is distributed under the same name of Little Sutton Biltong Company, and it is located in Sutton, England.
The next review on Little Sutton Biltong Company will focus on a 4.2 ounce/120 gram bag of their Garlic And Sweet Chili flavoured 100% grass-fed beef biltong. This flavour is described as having a strong garlic flavour with ancho, jalapeno and Hungarian sweet paprika. The biltong was graciously submitted for review by the Founder and CEO, John Denning.
Ingredients: 100% Grass Fed Beef (220g of beef per 100g of finished product), Celtic Sea Salt, Brown Sugar, Garlic, Paprika, Coriander, Black Pepper, Piri Piri Chili, Artisan Malt Vinegar (BARLEY), Worcester Sauce (FISH) Allergen Warnings: Anchovies
The silverside cut of beef used is 100% grass-fed beef. As a result, the cattle are guaranteed to have free range access to roam about. The beef is guaranteed to have been raised ethically, meaning not administered growth hormones or additional antibiotics. As a result, the highest ingredient rating possible is Excellent (10/10)
This liquid marinade used here is comprised of an artisan malt vinegar from Cornwall and Worcester sauce.
There are healthy ingredients added, such as black pepper and coriander. The heat is achieved from the piri piri chili peppers, where hot peppers are healthy if eaten in moderation.
There is no nutrition facts table provided. As a result, the exact sugar and salt levels are unknown.
This biltong does qualify to have no sodium nitrite or any other similar unhealthy preservatives. Instead, french grey sea salt is the main preservative and artisan malt vinegar from Cornwall to a lesser extent. Admirably, this biltong qualifies to have no MSG added.

Taste Review
LITTLE SUTTON BILTONG COMPANY – GARLIC AND SWEET CHILI 100% GRASS-FED BEEF BILTONG
Written by guest biltong reviewer Paul Rekker
When I open the bag I smell soy and chili. The pieces are small and thin, just like most other biltong. The jerky is soft and rather dry, again, just like other biltong. There is no oily residue left on your fingers while handling these strips.
When I bite into the biltong boy oh boy, I am brought back to ‘biltong heaven’. What I mean by that is I am a biltong disciple. And this flavour of biltong is blowing me away. I am tasting both the garlic and the sweet chili in spades, along with salt, pepper, and natural beef. Katy-bar-the-door, this flavour is spectacular!! This biltong hits all the right notes, and then some.
Little Sutton, take a very BIG bow, you have created a new type of drug, namely your garlic and sweet chili beef biltong. I am duly and summarily HOOKED!!!
I have my two thumbs way up, and I’m looking for anyone standing around to put their two thumbs way up as well. A most definitively deserved 10/10. Gentlemen?
Here is what Mark had to say about this garlic and sweet chili 100% grass-fed beef beef biltong flavour from Little Sutton Biltong Company: “Thanks Paul for the enthusiastic taste review. I echo your sentiments exactly. While not a complaint but as an observation, I would not have complained if the garlic level was a little higher. Being a fellow biltong disciple I could not keep my grubby hands off this delicious tasting biltong. Take another bow, John. A no-doubter Excellent (10/10) taste rating will be awarded. Two thumbs way up!!!👍👍
This 4.2 ounce/120 gram bag of biltong sells for £5.00. That works out to an unbelievably low price of £1.19 an ounce, which rates at a cheap price.

Bag Review
This resealable plastic bag has a label affixed to the front and a best before sticker on the back. The Little Sutton Biltong Company logo is a picture of a classy-dressed cow with a walking stick and a stalk of barely in its mouth.
There are no slogans printed on this bag. Some facts printed on this bag are “All Natural & High in Protein”, “Hand Made in Small Batches”, “Made Using Premium British Beef Silverside”, “Proudly Crafted in The Midlands”, and “Slow Cured For Full Flavour”.
Some bag categories missing are a nutrition facts table, bar code, and a blurb about this biltong or Little Sutton Biltong Company.
