Mossel Bay Ostrich

From the southern coast of South Africa comes exceptional quality free range ostrich. Very low in cholesterol and fat, but very high in protein, ostrich meat offers a unique combination of healthy nutrition and flavour.

HISTORY
Whilst ostrich feathers have been a prized possession since the times of the ancient Egyptians, the ostrich meat industry is relative new, with the first commercial abattoir opening just over 30 years ago. Ostrich meat today has grown into a global market and is becoming increasingly popular due to its unique healthy eating properties, excellent meaty texture and flavour, offering a desirable alternative to beef. Ostrich meat should therefore not just be regarded as another exotic speciality.

PROVENANCE
Our free range ostrich products originate exclusively from the area surrounding Mossel Bay, a picturesque harbour city along the Southern Cape of South Africa. Ostriches are indigenous to the African continent and are highly adapted to the extremities of climate in this beautiful part of the world. Consequently, product reared and produced in South Africa, significantly outperforms ostrich products produced elsewhere on the globe.

REARING
Ostrich are free-roaming livestock and all of our animals are raised within huge pens on spacious farmland. Our South African partner has around 200 individual farmers, some of whom are third and fourth generation, and all are shareholders within the business. Unlike many European feeding regimes, Mossel Bay ostrich are fed on natural feed including alfalfa, maize and wheat and strictly no animal proteins, fish meal or growth stimulants are used.

BRANDING
We have created a unique brand identity, ‘Mossel Bay’, which captures the essence of the authenticity of South African provenance, the offering of natural elegance and the conveyance of quality.

A superb range of retail packaging offers an unparalleled product assortment, the first of its kind in the UK. An assortment of supporting point of sale material including posters, table information cards and recipe leaflet and booklets are available.
