Welcome to The Stock Merchant
At The Stock Merchant, we believe in the power of real, wholesome ingredients to elevate your culinary creations. Our commitment to quality begins with the careful selection of free-range or grass-fed bones, which we slowly simmer with our specially chosen vegetables and herbs for at least 10 hours. This meticulous process results in a stock with unparalleled purity and depth of flavor, perfect for enriching risottos, stews, soups, and more.
The Heart of Our Craft
We take pride in working with local producers who supply us with free-range chicken, grass-fed cattle, sustainably harvested shellfish, and pristine vegetables and herbs. Our aim is simple: to enhance your cooking while supporting free-range animal farming and sustainable fishing practices in Australia.
What Sets Us Apart
Our stocks, sauces, and bone broths are made the traditional way, without any added salt, flavor enhancers, gluten, preservatives, or additives. We believe that real food should be made from real ingredients. This dedication to authenticity has earned us accolades, including recognition from Delicious Magazine for our sustainable crab stock’s delicate balance of flavor and restaurant-quality taste.
A Commitment to Purity
We are just as mindful of what we leave out of our products as we are about what goes in. Unlike most commercial stocks that rely on significant amounts of salt and flavor enhancers like yeast extracts, we believe in providing a fair deal to cooks. Our stocks are free from yeast extract (often just a sneaky name for MSG) and salt, allowing you to control the seasoning in your dishes.
With the lowest sodium levels on the market, our stocks are ideal for those on low-sodium diets:
-
Free Range Chicken Stock: 23mg sodium per 100ml
-
Free Range Beef Stock: 21mg sodium per 100ml
-
Traditional Vegetable Stock: 9mg sodium per 100ml
Ingredients You Can Trust
We ensure that our ingredients are sustainably sourced and of the highest quality, with at least 50% being organic. Our vegetables come from local Victorian markets, our beef bones from grass-fed, free-range cattle in Victoria and New South Wales, and our chicken bones from certified free-range farmers in Victoria. Additionally, our blue swimmer crabs are sustainably harvested from Abacus Fisheries in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
Perfect for All Ages
Our stocks and bone broths are not only excellent for enriching your meals but also make a healthy start for homemade baby food. Free from salt, preservatives, and flavor enhancers, they provide extra nutrients and introduce new flavors to your little ones.
