There's a science behind making the perfect biltong and it's helped one woman earn a PhD!



Stellenbosch student Maxine Jones (27) has received her doctorate in Food Science from Stellenbosch University, with a research project based entirely on how to make the best quality biltong. 



South Africans love biltong, Carla Mackenzie included, so when she heard about the woman who has a PhD in biltong making, she knew she had to chat to her about why biltong of all things.



Take a listen!

We all know of enjoying biltong with a beer, is there more than just beer we could be enjoying it with?
