Ayoba is our family company that was founded in our kitchen a few years after we moved to the United States from South Africa.
What started as a Saturday morning hobby between a father and his sons slowly marinated into a business. We created Ayoba to celebrate our roots and introduce America to our traditional South African style meats known as Biltong, Droëwors & Boerewors. Give them a try and soon you’ll be saying Ayoba!
If you were born in South Africa it is most likely that you cut your teeth on a stick of biltong. This is certainly true of every one of the van Blommestein Family. It is in our blood, along with the sounds, smells, colors and vibrancy of South Africa. Understandable then that we would miss biltong, boerewors, and droewors so much. We have lived in the US for almost 15 years now and have found replacements for, or are used to living without most of the things we love, however, we were not able to live without our beloved meats.
So, we put our South African resourcefulness and creativity to work, dusted off the family recipe book, and got to work making our own biltong, boerewors and droëwors. What started off as a Saturday morning hobby between a father and his sons, quickly grew into something more. We subjected our friends and family to taste-testing (they certainly weren’t complaining) and after some small tweaking of the recipes, we ended up with the deliciousness that you can experience today. It is a family affair and everyone pitches in at some level of labor or love to get our meat into your belly. We are so glad you are visiting our website and would love for you to try our products. We welcome your suggestions and comments but we have no doubt that after your first bite, you’ll be saying That’s Ayoba-Yo! Enjoy shopping with us and remember we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
