What is Bone Broth?

Liquid gold! A rich, nutritious broth that soothes and energises.

Bone broth was once lauded as an elixir by our ancestors, recipes of broth were passed down generation to generation so that families could provide healing and nourishment to their loved ones. Today’s busy lifestyle leaves little time to prepare such healing elixirs so we wanted to provide that warm hug that only broth can give. Our bone broths are authentic and made with Australian grass fed beef & free range chicken bones, made the traditional way and simmered for 24 hours.

Bone broth is made from animal bones and connective tissue, that have been boiled and simmered for many hours and may include herbs, vegetables, and spices. A tradition from our hunter-gatherer forefathers of consuming the whole animal, nose to tail and no waste.
