Ostrich Soup Bones (Collagen Bones)

DISCOVER OSTRICH SOUP BONES

Use collagen bones alone, or with our marrow bones, to create a fantastic soup, stock, or broth. These kneecap and 'knuckle' bones are softer than marrow bones and often have cartilage that helps create a thicker consistency for your broth or soup. Ostrich bones and are packed with natural, beefy (well, ostrichy!) flavor, and tons of nutrients without any added salts or preservatives. Like our other meats and delicacies, ostrich collagen bones can be used in any recipe that calls for beef, bison, or lamb bones.

PACKAGED WITH CARE

Many of our first time customers have never had meat shipped directly to their door. These are some of the most common questions we receive about shipping.

Is the meat frozen?
Our meats are flash-frozen immediately after harvest and remain 100% airtight in a state of deep freeze until shipment, at which time they are carefully packaged with sufficient dry ice and renewable insulation to maintain our very high standards of food safety during shipment.

We calculate the amount of dry ice and insulation to use in every package based on the shipping address, shipping service, and the weather likely to be experienced en route to your door.

What if my meat thaws in transit?
While we strive to ensure every order arrives fully frozen, carrier delays do happen. The important thing to remember is that upon arrival, as long as the meat is still cold to the touch, it is perfectly safe and appropriate to put right into your freezer, or fully thaw to cook.

SAFE HANDLING

Buying frozen meat means you will have the extra step of thawing your meat but we promise, thawing ostrich is easy! The three options below are the safest, easiest methods to get fresh meat from the freezer to your plate.

• Pull your soup bones out of the freezer a day ahead of time and give them at least 24 hours in your refrigerator. Once thawed, bones are safe to use for at least 5 days.
• Forgot to pull your bones out to thaw? Thawing in cold water is much faster than the refrigerator, but requires more attention. This method requires a waterproof package or bag to keep water out. Once thawed, it is recommended that the bones be used right away and not refrozen prior to cooking.
• While we don't recommend it, thawing in the microwave might be your best option if you're in pinch, as it's the fastest thawing method there is. Always cook immediately after thawing and do not refreeze prior to cooking.
