FAQs

Bone Broth is water simmered with animal or fish bones, vegetables, aromatics, and sometimes meat. The bones are slow-simmered for up to 24 hrs to extract all the collagen, proteins, and amino acids into a nutrient-rich bone broth.

Bone Broth has been used as a homemade remedy across cultures for generations and is now making a resurgence due to its known health benefits.

Stock is made by simmering animal bones, sometimes with some meat still attached, in water, sometimes with added vegetables and aromatics. It is cooked for a medium period of time—usually 4 to 6 hours—then strained. Some stocks are seasoned and some are not.

The main difference between stock and bone broth is that bone broth is cooked for a much longer period of time—between 12 and 24 hours—this ensures that as many nutrients as possible are released from the bones, namely collagen but also glucosamine, amino acids, electrolytes, calcium, and more. It is then strained and seasoned to be enjoyed on its own or used in cooking.

Due to the high levels of protein and collagen in bone broth, many leading nutritionists believe that regular consumption delivers multiple health benefits including:

Maintaining bone density
Alleviating joint pain
Aiding gut health
Boosting immunity
Reducing signs of aging

Bone broths can be used in cooking to add depth and flavour to soups, sauces, casseroles, stews, risottos and all your favourite recipes. Use just like a stock.

Or you can simply warm it up and enjoy as a nourishing hot drink.

Bones for our beef bone broth are sourced from grass-fed cattle reared on carefully selected organic farms, mainly in Ireland.

Bones for our chicken bone broth are sourced from free range hens reared on carefully selected organic farms, mainly in Germany.

We ensure that all farms from where we source our bones take animal welfare very seriously and practice high levels of animal husbandry.

Collagen is the most abundant protein found in our bodies. It’s found in muscles, bones, skin, blood vessels, digestive system and tendons. It’s what gives our skin strength and elasticity and our joints and tendons suppleness. It’s the gel that keeps our body together.

Our body’s collagen production begins to slow down as we age. Other lifestyle factors like a high sugar diet, smoking, excessive exposure to the sun, can also contribute to declining collagen levels.

Thankfully, consuming our delicious bone broth as part of a healthy diet can help replenish the collagen our bodies need.

We slow simmer our bones for over 16 hours to ensure we extract as many nutrients from the bones as possible. Our research has shown that boiling bones for much more than 16 hours produces no extra nutritional benefit.

Bone broth is made from animal bones which contain high levels of collagen protein. By slow cooking the bones in water over many hours the collagen is absorbed from the bones into the broth making it very high in protein.

Towards the end of the cooking process we add a variety of organic vegetables to each broth to enhance the flavour and nutritional profile. All broths are then strained before being packed to provide a clean, clear liquid for cooking and drinking.
