We Craft with Care
In a world where the sustainable demand for animal protein is increasing, at Taranaki Bio Extracts we take an upcycle approach, maximising export quality beef bones to craft our premium range of ingredients.
Taranaki Bio Extracts
Our Story
We’re Committed to Your Brand Reputation
We protect your reputation by the care we take in our partnership with you
It starts with our food philosophy, the responsible sourcing of our raw materials, crafting our premium pure quality ingredients, and delivering them food-safe and full of goodness to you.
Our Food Philosophy
Too precious to waste
We believe in sustainable nutrition – for us this is about valuing, and creating value from the entire animal, to create rich nutrition. For many cultures, respecting the life of animals sourced for food means using and appreciating every part of the animal. For twenty years we’ve been part of this age-old tradition. When the processors have removed the prime cuts, we know there’s special value and richness hidden in the meaty beef bones.
Creating value in new ways
We create value in new ways by extracting this richness to produce high quality functional food and technical ingredients. We call it upcycling.
The New Zealand Difference
At Taranaki Bio Extracts we’re proud of our provenance offering and the way we partner to do business. We truly value our relationships with our customers, to the land, to our natural environment, and to the future we’re taking part in shaping.
New Zealand Beef to Broth
‘Grass-fed’ from New Zealand – it’s unique
Our mild climate, rich soil, clean air and fresh flowing water creates an ideal environment for year-round lush green grass to grow – grass our livestock love and a lifestyle that enriches the animals from the beef right through to the bone.
