{"product_id":"righteous-felon-ancho-villa-biltong-2oz","title":"Ancho Villa Biltong - Righteous Felon","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAncho Villa Biltong — Righteous Felon (2 oz)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Biltong is the South African answer to jerky — air-dried rather than heat-dehydrated, which keeps the beef tender and pull-apart rather than tough and chewy. Ancho Villa takes that tradition and torches it. Built on a base of red wine vinegar, coriander, and black garlic, it layers in four distinct peppers — ancho, chipotle, cayenne, and habanero — building a layered, slow-climbing heat that lands well past where most \"spicy\" snacks tap out.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  The beef comes from Roseda Farm, a Black Angus operation in northern Maryland. It's pasture-raised, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and dry-aged for 21 days before the cure — which gives the marinade time to work deep into the meat rather than sitting on the surface. After seasoning, it's air-dried low and slow, no heat applied, which is what separates biltong from jerky in both texture and protein density. The result: 32g of protein, zero sugar, and under 1g of carbs per bag.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Eat it straight from the bag — the heat builds as you go, so pace yourself. It holds well as a trail snack or desk protein, and the low moisture content means a 12-month shelf life without refrigeration. If you're building a snack board that goes beyond cheese, Ancho Villa pulls its weight next to a sharp cheddar or smoked gouda where the dairy cuts the heat cleanly.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Maker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Righteous Felon is a Philadelphia-based craft jerky operation making small-batch, handmade meat snacks with locally sourced ingredients. Their entire biltong line runs on beef from Roseda Farm — a single-source Black Angus ranch in northern Maryland that dry-ages their beef for 21 days before it becomes jerky. No preservatives, no nitrates, no shortcuts. Ancho Villa is the heat anchor of their three-flavor biltong lineup, positioned explicitly as the spicier evolution of their bestselling Darth Garlic.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n  Beef, Red Wine Vinegar, Salt, Ground Coriander, Garlic, Rosemary, Pepper, Ancho Pepper, Chipotle Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Paprika, Habanero Pepper, Black Garlic, Monk Fruit\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow hot is Ancho Villa compared to regular spicy jerky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGenuinely hot. The heat builds from four different peppers — ancho and chipotle for depth, cayenne for sharp heat, habanero for the finish — and it stacks as you eat.
