Boerewors is shipped frozen in an insulated liner. We recommend shipping overnight (UPS Next Day Air) so that the Boerewors arrives frozen, or (UPS 2nd Day Air), and the Boerewors will arrive slightly thawed but fresh to eat for up to 10 days, or can be re-frozen if done immediately. WE ONLY SHIP BOEREWORS ON MONDAYS & TUESDAYS so that the Boerewors does not get stuck in transit over the weekend. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at (202) 796-8554 or send us an email to support@ayobafoods.com.

Our liners are filled with natural cotton fiber insulation that is sustainable and recyclable!

If shipped with Next Day Air, your Boerewors will arrive frozen and can either be placed in the freezer, or defrosted and used within 7 days. If shipped with 2nd Day Air, your Boerewors will arrive slightly thawed and can be re-frozen, or placed in the fridge and used within 5-7 days.

Boerewors can be defrosted by placing in the fridge overnight, or by letting it sit (still wrapped) in room temperature water for 30-45 minutes.

Boerewors is best prepared on the braai/grill. Place Boerewors on a heated grill, turning occasionally, and cook until internal temperature is at 145°F. Try not to break casing to keep the Boerewors from drying out. If you prefer, you can also cook Boerewors indoors on a pan with a little bit of olive oil on medium heat, with a lid on, turning occasionally. Check out a few of our favorite recipes.
