Stock vs. Bone Broth

Stock vs. Bone Broth: What’s the Difference?

Stock. Bone Broth. Kissing cousins. Similar. Interchangeable, yet still not quite the same. What is the real difference between the two? Let's break it down.

What They Have in Common
Whether it’s stock or bone broth, we make both the traditional way, using real bones, real ingredients, and nothing you can’t pronounce.

  • We only use grass-fed beef and free-range chicken bones, always sourced from Australian producers.
  • Both are gluten-free, paleo-friendly, and contain no preservatives, colours, flavour enhancers, or added salt.
  • We never bulk out flavour with things like “vegetable powders” or yeast extracts. It’s real food, simple as that.

What Makes Them Different
Ingredients

  • Stock is made with bones and market-fresh vegetables and herbs, for added flavour complexity, perfect for cooking.
  • Bone Broth is made from bones alone. No onions. No herbs. Just bones and time. This makes it ideal for low FODMAP diets, or anyone with food sensitivities.

Potency

  • Stock is simmered for 10–12 hours. It’s pure, clean, and flavourful, a go-to base for all kinds of savoury cooking.
  • Bone Broth is slow-simmered for a full 24 hours, with a high ratio of bones to water. This ultra-long extraction means it’s rich in gelatin, collagen, and key minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. You’ll know it by the jelly-like consistency when chilled.

That’s also why bone broth is more expensive: more bones, more time, more nutrition.

When to Use Each

Bone Broth: Sip it straight from a mug (just add a pinch of salt) or use it in simple, nourishing meals where you want the nutritional benefits to shine.

Stock: Your everyday cooking hero. Use it in soups, risottos, braises, sauces — anywhere you want real, full-bodied flavour.

The Bottom Line
Both stock and bone broth reflect our core philosophy: real food, made with integrity. We don’t cut corners. We don’t add junk. Whether you’re building flavour or fuelling your gut, we’ve got you covered.
