Thanks for the awesome review! We're glad to hear that ordering snacks was a piece of cake or should we say, a bag of Biltong 🍟 We strive to keep things simple so you can focus on the important stuff: enjoying your tasty treats! Come back anytime for more snack-tastic adventures! 😊

Good morning, Natalie,

We must admit, your review has left all of us more than a little bemused.

You ordered a minimum of 1kg of Gem Squash and received four Gem Squashes weighing 1.13kg so you actually received more than you paid for. That part, at least, is not open to interpretation.

For some helpful context, the average Gem Squash weighs approximately 275g. We have weighed and dispatched more than three tonnes of them this year alone, so we have rather a lot of evidence and Gem Squash to support that figure.

You state that a previous 1kg order (From God only knows who) contained 14 Gem Squashes. That would make each one weigh an average of just 71g. We have looked through almost a tonne of our current stock and cannot find a single regular Gem Squash remotely close to that size. At 71g, they would most likely have been extremely immature “baby” Gems or perhaps an entirely different product, quite frankly we cant decide.

Our product description clearly states:

“A kilo is normally around 4–5 Gems, but you will receive a minimum of 1kg in weight.”

Your four Gems weighed 1.13kg, giving them an average weight of approximately 282g each almost exactly the average expected size.

You also refer to “small Gem Squash.” Perhaps this is where the confusion lies. Baby Gem Squash are picked very early and are roughly the size of a ping-pong ball. Regular Gem Squash, like the ones we sell and have only ever sold, are closer to the size of a tennis ball. Our listing does not advertise Baby Gem Squash, nor has it ever suggested that customers will receive 14 Gems per kilogram. Quite the opposite actually, our listing is very very clear in its description.

We have sold UK grown South African Gem Squash in season for many many years, and we have never encountered a properly developed Gem Squash weighing anywhere near 71g. If we did, it would not pass our quality checks and we would not be selling them.

To be absolutely clear: you ordered a minimum of 1kg, the listing advised that this would usually be around four or five Gems, and you received four Gems weighing 1.13kg. In other words, you received exactly what was advertised and described and an additional 130g for good measure (We always add a little extra when bought on line as getting exactly 1kg is virtually impossible normally 4 or 5 not and never anywhere near 14)

We are always happy to accept fair criticism when we have made a mistake. However, on this occasion, the product, quantity and weight were all correct. Unfortunately, an expectation based on a completely different product or some rather adventurous mathematics does not mean that we supplied your order incorrectly.

Many Thanks from
A very confused Team WBC.

TOP SECRET - The more times you order the bigger the prize..........

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for continuing to support our little family business. It genuinely means the world to us that you choose to come back time and time again.

We're especially pleased that our Rosemary & Garlic biltong has won you over (excellent choice, if we do say so ourselves!) and that being able to choose your preferred fat level hits the spot. After all, biltong is a very personal affair!

As for the pen... we like to think it's our way of saying thanks, although we're fairly sure the biltong is the real reason you keep coming back! 😉

Reviews like yours remind us why we do what we do. Thank you for supporting small businesses, for recommending us to others, and for being such a valued part of The Weston Biltong Company family.

See you again soon for another bag... and who knows, maybe another surprise! 🇿🇦🥩

We're absolutely delighted everything arrived on time and even more chuffed that you'd recommend us to others. Word of mouth is worth its weight in biltong, and we really appreciate you taking the time to spread the love.

Thanks for supporting our little family business – we can't wait to tempt you back for your next biltong fix! 🇿🇦🥩

Wow... now that's a review worth chewing over! 😄

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such fantastic feedback. Knowing you think our biltong is worth every penny (and then some!) makes all the hard work worthwhile. We spend a lot of time perfecting our recipes, so it's brilliant to hear you're enjoying the flavours.

We're also delighted that our ordering, processing and delivery are hitting the mark too. We like to think the only thing that should take its time is enjoying the biltong not waiting for it to arrive!

Thanks again for your support. We can't wait to get your next biltong fix packed up and on its way.

We love a customer who appreciates a proper portion size — life’s too short for stingy snacks 😄
Delighted you’re enjoying the biltong and even happier it’s hitting the sweet spot on taste and value. Thanks for the 5 stars — you’ve officially made our day (and justified another round of taste testing in the office)!

Many Thanks
