In one word: flavor. Our founder, Marco Canora (James Beard Award, Best Chef in New York), is a world-class chef who insists on doing things the right way. We use only top-quality ingredients – whole fresh-cut organic vegetables, organic poultry, 100% grass-fed animals, and the aromatic spices. We then slow-simmer these ingredients with an almost equal amount of water (1:1 ratio) for up to 24 hours, depending on the broth (chicken takes less time). Other broth makers may cook for less time; some brew for even longer. We feel our process is the right amount of time to ensure maximum nutrient density – and maximum flavor – in every cup.

Simple: Brodo is the italian word for “broth.” Historically, Italians have made broth a bit differently from their French counterparts, simmering both meat and bone, not just bones. Our chef and founder, Marco Canora, prefers the Italian method. We specifically use drumsticks, oxtails and other meaty cuts to make our broth more delicious and more nutrient dense.

This is actually a question we frequently ask ourselves – as well as our suppliers, partners, and every employee that comes into contact with our products. Starting with Chef Marco, and up and down the line, the answer is a resounding YES! We can’t wait for these broths to play a central role in our homes and in yours.

No. Definitely not.

Yes! We spent lots of time researching the best possible packaging from all angles, including the materials used to make the packaging.

Yes! We are constantly evaluating ways to minimize our footprint. The weight and bulky volume of glass jars drives very high transportation emissions. The melting and reshaping process associated with recycling glass is very energy intensive. Glass production also requires sand, which is an increasingly finite resource. So while we love glass as a refillable package, it’s not a good choice for Brodo.

From the pantry or fridge, you can either heat your bone broth on the stove, in the microwave, or add it to your favorite dish.

No. Our packaging contains aluminum and therefore should not be microwaved. To heat your broth in a microwave, we recommend starting with 60-90 seconds in a microwave safe mug or container until you find your perfect temp.

Until opened, your broth will last for up to one year at room temperature.  After opening, your broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.

We ship to all the lower 48 states.

We are currently working to bring back our Vegan Seaweed & Mushroom Broth. We don’t have an accurate ETA yet, however we hope to have it back as soon as possible. The Vegan Seaweed & Mushroom Broth does not contain gelatin, however there are some studies that show shiitake (and types of kelp) can promote collagen production in the body. Despite its lack of collagen, it is nourishing, hydrating, and delicious!

Our broth is wonderful when sipped straight from a favorite mug and it’s also great for cooking soups, risottos, stews, and more. Check out our blog for recipe inspiration!

Nutrition info for each broth is available on its product info page.

Orders placed by 12pm EST Monday-Friday are packed and shipped on the same day! If you place your order after the 12pm cutoff, your order will ship the following business day. Once shipped, delivery times are typically 1-2 days but for some states it may take up to 3 days. For any additional questions on our shipping schedule, please reach out to [email protected].

Our bone broths are regularly tested for lead and reports have shown that levels are under a detectable amount.

Our sodium levels vary slightly, 350 milligrams per 8oz serving. We season to taste and only use mineral-rich sea salt.

We used to sell only frozen bone broth, but we have recently switched to bone broth that requires no freezing or refrigeration until it’s opened.

The short answer is yes! The only thing that’s new is the packaging. We’re still using the same recipes and making our bone broth from scratch, the traditional way, without any concentrates, powders, or preservatives.

Yes, our pantry-ready bone broth does contain the same amount of collagen and gelatin as our frozen broth! Since gelling occurs at cold temperatures, you won’t notice it if it’s at room temperature when it’s opened. If you don’t trust us, you can stick a pouch in the fridge for a few hours and you will see it gel!

Our Spicy Nonna bone broth contains a small amount of apple cider vinegar for flavor, but the rest of our broths have no vinegar added. Other broth makers may use apple cider vinegar as a shortcut to extract nutrients from the bones. Our chef and founder Marco Canora believes this unnecessary. Using the right kinds of bones and cooking for the right amount of time is a more effective way to make a truly nutrient-dense broth.

Since this is a food product and we want to ensure the safety of our customers, we cannot accept a return on our products. As a company that produces our bone broth the traditional way that emphasizes delicious flavor, we very rarely hear about our customers simply not liking the flavor. However we want you to be 100% confident that you will enjoy your order – and if you simply do not care for the flavor you ordered, please contact us within 30 days and we will offer you a replacement of your choice (equal in value). 

Of course if there is something wrong with your order we will make things right!

Our chicken & turkey are certified organic, raised on pasture, and fed a vegetarian diet free of GMOs, antibiotics, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides. Our beef is 100% grass-fed and finished, raised on pasture, and free of antibiotics and hormones. All are sourced from free-range providers.

We get all of our bones from cooperatives and family farms.

As many of you know (the hard way) our frozen containers were vulnerable to cracking and leaking. The frozen supply chain is also very taxing on the environment.

This new package allows us to maintain the same product quality in a more consumer and planet friendly format.

Best of all, our new line of broth uses the same recipes, they’re still made from scratch, still have no preservatives, and offer more consistent quality!
