Grassland Sommerlad Chicken Broth (Breeder) 750mL
About the broth
Made from 19 month-old, Sommerlad breeder flock birds, giving us a rare chance to make a broth from older birds with all the associated richness and flavour.
Most broth, including ours, is made from the bones of much younger chickens, between eight to 12 weeks, bred for the meat chicken market. Unless you're dispatching your own backyard chooks or you live on a farm, you just can't get older chickens and you absolutely can't get older, heritage-breed birds of this quality.Â
So, this broth is darker in colour and has a more pronounced, 'chickeny' flavour, as you'd expect. Generally, the more natural, intrinsic flavour in food (not produced by adding stuff), the higher the nutrient profile. (Bring on Dan Kitteridge's Bionutrient Meter so we can all see the true nutritional profile of our food...)Â
