Taranaki Bio Extracts manufactures and supplies sustainable and natural ingredients made from 100% New Zealand grass-fed beef bone.
Our premium ingredients range from beef tallow, beef bone collagen, to bone broths and extracts for local and international food service, functional food, manufacturing and pet nutrition.
The New Zealand Difference
New Zealand is known for its wide open spaces, a natural environment, and year-round outdoor grazing systems. This makes for healthy grass-fed beef animals, great nutritious beefy bones, and world-class ingredients.
The New Zealand Difference is about more than our provenance offering – it defines what makes us unique, what matters to us, and how we partner with our customers to support the success of their brands.
As Nature Intended, With a Little Help from Us
We’re dedicated to maintaining the natural goodness in our broths and extracts just as nature intended. Our experienced team is led by an award-winning New Zealand Food Process Engineer (PhD) with expertise in meat science and food safety. While nature provides the nutritional qualities, our food science expertise provides a pure process for a healthful rich formulation.
Grass-fed, pasture raised beef bones are a rich source of essential vitamins and nutrients. Butler, our premium range of bone broths and extracts provide a New Zealand-natural source of glucosamine, collagen and protein reported to deliver a range of health benefits – ready to enrich your recipes.
A Sustainable Approach
From the process of upcycling beef bones to craft our premium ingredients, through to our daily operations, a sustainable and ethical approach is at the heart of what we do.
For us it’s all about meeting the needs of our customers in the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
We’ve aligned with the UN Sustainability Development Goals to formalise and focus our efforts.
