Freja Bone Brothレビュー 

There's been a great deal of press and adverts about Freya's various bone-broth products, and I always like to try out anything that generally is highly regarded, as well as is supposed to have beneficial health properties as well.
I've see many opportunities to commit online to a purchase from this well-respected Norwegian company, but I'm not paying around £40 or so to try a selection of items, if I ultimately don't like them.
A limited range is, however, available in Tesco, so, when I was last in our local store, I bought two 500ml cartons of their Beef, and Chicken Broths respectively, which set me back around £10 with a Clubcard, I recall.
However, the packet suggested that, drinking it as a plain cup-a-soup, 500ml would make 3 cups, pushing it, or more generously 2 'Bachelors' soup-mugs I've had for years.
I proceeded to warm up a cup-full I'd poured from the Chicken Broth, and which I'd just opened, so it was well within its sell-by date, and perfectly fresh.
I sat back to enjoy what I was expecting to find was a delicious and tasty chicken clear soup, even if I did expect the colour of the liquid to look more like chicken - i.e. yellower in colour - than what was actually in the cup, and which had more of a 'beefy' shade (yes, I did check which one I'd opened!)
Talk about anti-climax and immense disappointment! I normally have no issues with taste, but, if I were to shut my eyes, I would honestly not know what I was drinking. It was virtually like hot water, with no specific taste whatsoever. If it did have a flavour when it set out from Norway, it felt like someone had spiked the carton by diluting it at least 10 times, so it tasted more like the water under the tap, when I've rinsed out a cup of packet soup - at least 4 in a pack, for at least half the price!
I think I would have better enjoyed a chicken bouillon cube for a fraction of the money, which could be found on an adjacent display-shelf in the store!
Hence my 1-star review and review title, I'm afraid!
REPLY from FREYAFOODS
--------------------------------------------------------
I have now had a response from Freya Foods, the main gist of which is:

"We understand your reaction - our Classic Bone Broths are quite subtle, made for gentle nourishment rather than a bold soup-style flavour. A pinch of sea salt or herbs can really help bring out the depth."

I have tried a second cup, where I have added a number of my own complementary flavouring and spices, as recommended.

Admittedly I can now detect 'some' flavour, but it is ONLY that of the various herbs and salt. However, I still tasted nothing to suggest that I was drinking Freja BONE BROTH Chicken.

If I copy what is written on the packed, it says:

'Nourish yourself with our award-winning Chicken Bone Broth, made with high quality ingredients for a natural and delicious broth that's brimming with flavour and nutrition'.

Now, if I take this literally, there should be NO need to add extra the sea salt or herbs, given that it's 'brimming with flavour and nutrition' already!

You can't write 'brimming', but then acknowledge that it still needs additional flavouring from two or so external source - and then charge some £5 for just over 2 cup-fulls!

I really think this is worth me running all this past the Trade Descriptions (Place of Production( (Making) Order 1988, for an opinion on the validity of what it says on the packaging, when contrasted and compared with what you said in your initial response below. I shall attend to this shortly

Just discovered Freja foods.
Chicken bone broth and the beef bone broth instant have been a godsend for work breaks.
Fill you up and are helping me to lose weight.
I am now being able to achieve 16 hr + fasting.
Bonus is feeling Great.

I love these products. I had a glitch with my subscription and this was sorted within a blink of the eye !!!

I definitely recommend this thoughtful organisation.

Have just ordered from here for the first time, I ordered the starter bundle. Beautiful packaging and delivered so quickly. Love the free mug too! Have just tried the beef bone broth, very nice and full of flavour, the smell woke our dog up so shes had a little of it too over her dog food and licked the bowl clean! Lovely to purchase from passionate people who care. Website was easy to use and great prices. Really looking forward to seeing some health benefits over time. Thank you, highly recommended website.

I was drawn to Freja because of the Nordic attitude towards producing food. Their normal food products are a quality that we would most often label organic. This is so important to me as with so many other customers as I have a very serious auto immune disease. So what I ingest matters. Now I need to praise their customer service. It is outstanding. They clearly value their customers and the importance of serving the customer as well as providing a top quality product matters to them….a lot. So yay to Freja for forcing on both the product and the customer.

I loved their unflavoured bone broth shake, until I’ve found that recently, when I went to purchase more that they’ve changed the recipe! Why change something that doesn’t need to be changed because now, with the added coconut sugar, it isn’t neutral anymore! And with considerably less collagen & protein. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Please change it back!

**in response to Freja’s reply, I did try what was recommended & it was terrible, not the same at all, didn’t mix as well as the original bone broth shake & so, they gave me a refund.

Thanks ☺️**

Easy to order and received quickly the mugs are great 👍.

Absolutely love their bone broths. Good ingredients, no nasties. Also, their customer service is excellent. Very happy customer

Very friendly

Great tasting bone broth, super fast delivery and helpful staff

If broth is as good as company service they fully deserve their ratings! I had to change delivery address after ordering for my daughter and even though it was already en route they arranged the change with carrier.

This is a great product.
The quality is superb at a reasonable price and the customer service is excellent. We are in our 70s and add bone broth for health to just about anything! Tastes delicious and doing us good.

Wonderful products and really good customer service. Would have taken a star off due to having a small problem with a subscription once, but the customer service was so good I felt that they earned it back.

Freja’s customer service, especially from Evie, has been fantastic. She’s an absolute credit to the team. Thank you so much for your help, Evie!

I love having a cup of bone broth in the morning with my breakfast—it’s warm, comforting, and a great way to start the day.

I'm a healthy conscious eater, I make my own bone broth, run & do reformer pilates. Adding the Freja smoothie to my morning routine has made the BIGGEST difference to my gut health and over all wellbeing. It has been the most significant and successful addition / change i've made. I love it, LOVE the taste and genuinely miss it when I don't have it. Don't hesitate, sign up to a subscription and get gulping. You wont regret it!!!

i love this bone broth powder....its an easy delicious way get collagen,,,very good in coffee or other milky drinks. and very pure and natural.

Not only are the products fabulous, the customer service is superb too.

I've been using the Bone Broth for over a year. In the run up to major surgery and recovery. It is essential for the assistance of collagen and soft tissue healing.

And, I use the chocolate protein shake on a daily basis to kick start my day with a good protein hit.

As someone who is lactose intolerant, I've searched for years for a good protein powder and I can hands down say this is the best! Whilst not as high in protein as some of the others, it is by far the tastiest chocolatey heaven! It's not grainy and it's great for my gut too.

Did not enjoy product

Fast and efficient ordering and delivery.

Very pleasant taste and easy to mix protein shake.

Freja has become a staple in my household, I introduce my boyfriend, mother, and friend to it. It’s natural ingredients have helped me live a healthy lifestyle as someone who previously struggled with gut issues I can’t express how refreshing it is to have something delicious helpful and useful that won’t upset my stomach. Their customer service is friendly helpful and answers very professional and quickly. A special thanks to Evie who helped me out with my subscription.
