Osius, The Bone Broth Company

Organic free-range chicken & organic pasture-fed beef bone broth.

About Osius
A year ago, a nutritionist who was treating an eight-year-old boy with severe gut problems approached us with an idea. She was recommending bone broth as part of the child’s daily diet. The boy’s mother was a vegetarian but nevertheless willing to make bone broth for her son, unless there was the perfect one on the market, saving her uncomfortable feelings of nausea and hours of time, let alone difficulty in sourcing good bones.

We were aware of the benefits of bone broth but we didn’t really understand the science behind it.

So we hit the books, Google and talked to nutritionists, dieticians and doctors … in fact anyone who knew more than we did about bone broth.

After months of educating ourselves about the benefits of bone broth, we were convinced that it was an incredible product with an endless stream of health benefits for everyone, not just those in need of healing.

So, the challenge was set. However, there was to be no compromise. The product had to be the best it possibly could be, otherwise it was not worth making.

We believed that the key factors in producing the best broth were that it needed to be:

Ø fully organic
Ø 100% pasture fed
Ø simmered for days
Ø free from any additives
Ø made with British bones

After many trials and gallons of bone broth down the drain, we now have a product that we are genuinely immensely proud of.

Osius Beef Bone Broth is accredited by The Soil Association as a fully organic bone broth and by Pasture for Life as 100% pasture fed. Our Chicken Bone Broth has the Soil Association accreditation.

The name was easy. An ancient product needed an appropriately ancient name.
‘Os ius’(sic) literally translated from the Latin is ‘Bone broth’. We added a pinch of poetic licence and came up with Osius, The Bone Broth Company, so here we are.


Our philosophy
Our philosophy is simple and it is not rocket science. We believe that real food is a major contributor to health and well-being. Look after your gut and all should be well.

Our ingredients
Our bones are sourced from happy, healthy animals that have spent their lives frolicking on rich, luscious, green pastures. The nutrient-rich diet of these animals gives our broth its dense goodness.

Our vegetables are from organic farms. Our first choice would always be British farms, however, when vegetables are out of season we need to buy from Soil Association accredited farms in countries such as Spain.

Simmering
We roast our bones first to give the broth a deep rich flavour and then simmer it on a very low heat in small batches, for days! This is how our ancestors made broth and for good reason. It is this gentle simmering on a very low heat, over a long time, that extracts all of the essential nutrients we need. The long, slow process results in the dark, dense, rich broth.
