Grass-Fed Droewors Beef Sticks

Droewors is the South African beef stick: air-dried, never cooked, and made the way a butchery in Pretoria or Cape Town would make it. Ayoba’s droëwors is handcrafted in the USA from 100% grass-fed beef, seasoned with coriander, cloves, salt and pepper, and stuffed into natural casing. No sugar, no nitrates, no fillers.

What makes our grass-fed beef sticks different

Most beef sticks on the American market are cooked, smoked and sweetened. Droewors is none of those things. We air-dry ours for up to five days in temperature-controlled rooms, and that is what gives it the dry snap and concentrated beef flavour South Africans recognise straight away.

Every stick is made with 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef. There is no added sugar, no MSG, no artificial smoke, no fillers and no artificial preservatives, which is why our droewors is Paleo and Keto Certified and Whole30 Approved.

We make it in three flavours: Traditional, Spicy, and Garlic & Herb. All three come as singles for everyday snacking, in 3-packs, and in bulk cases for households that go through them fast.
