Bones, Water, Fire, and Time
James Beard Award-winning chef Marco Canora always wanted to offer something from the tiny takeout window at Hearth, his popular restaurant in New York City’s East Village. It took 11 years but the right idea eventually struck: delicious bone broth, served up like coffee in a to-go cup.
Drinking bone broth was a new way of life for Marco personally. A distinguished career in cooking left its indelible marks: too much carb-loading, too much drinking, resulting in gout, high cholesterol, and extra weight. Drinking nutritious bone broth, brewed by Marco himself, became a regular part of his new healthier diet. Inspired by his own rebound, the new and improved Marco was excited to offer his fellow New Yorkers a more nutritious, if not equally addictive, alternative to coffee.
Brodo was born in 2014 from that window overlooking First Avenue, with Marco personally ladling out the first cups. Marco and his team now serve Brodo at several locations, including the original takeout window and the flagship walk-in shop in Manhattan’s West Village. In addition to our shops, you can find Brodo in the frozen section of many grocery stores, or get it shipped directly to your door!
About
It all started with a window
For centuries, cultures around the world have boiled bones for broth
Industrialization in the 20th century made it easier and cheaper to make, but also eliminated everything that was wholesome and satisfying about it in the first place.
Brodo makes broth the traditional way, with real bones from real animals raised on real pastures. Well-made broth, slow-simmered the traditional way, is real food in its purest liquid form. No concentrates. No preservatives. No shortcuts.
Good Bones
We get all of our bones from cooperatives and family farms.
All of our beef bones come from 100% grass-fed animals raised on pasture and are free of antibiotics and hormones.
Our poultry is certified organic and raised on pasture. They are fed a vegetarian diet free of GMOs, antibiotics, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides.
Meaty Bones
To make a truly rich, complex broth, we insist on cooking with meaty cuts of the animal, not just bare bones.
We intentionally pick the specific bones that are best-suited for broth making, brawny parts like turkey legs, chicken feet, oxtails, and beef knuckles.
More than just bones
We incorporate fresh whole-cut organic vegetables for better flavor and more well-rounded nutrition.
Non-meat eaters, take note: We even offer a boneless version of our broth, made from wild seaweed, mushrooms, and organic vegetables. It is 100% vegan and vegetarian.
No pills, powders or pods allowed
All of our ingredients are real. We don’t use concentrates. We don’t use extracts. We don’t use artificial flavorings or preservatives. We don’t take shortcuts of any kind.
Not watered down
We put our top-quality ingredients into the pot and fill it with an almost equal amount of water. This 1-to-1 ratio ensures the richest broth with the maximum nutrient density, unlike the typical watered-down supermarket variety.
Time is on our side
Every batch of our broth is slowly simmered for up to 24 hours. This lengthy cooking process allows us to extract the most nutrients and flavor from each ingredient.
Others don’t even skim the surface
While each batch is cooking, we periodically hand-skim the fats and impurities that float to the top. In the end, this gives our broth a greater clarity and purity of flavor. Not every bone broth company takes this added step.
Simple ain’t easy
Cooking the traditional way with real ingredients might sound simple, but it’s not. Our entire process, from sourcing to prepping to cooking to straining and serving, takes time and patience, and it costs money, but our broth is worth it. Chef Marco insists on sticking to our process because he knows it’s the only way to do it right.
It’s quality you can taste.
