Everything starts of course with the Emu. At present all the Emu's used by e3 are hatched and raised at Emerald Emu Ranch. These emu's are fed the same and given the same water for their entire lives. (The birds have access to water & feed 24/7). They are not processed until they are a minimum of 3 (three) years of age, as the fat does not actually become fully mature until that age. Therefore it does not yield its full healing or anti-inflammatory potential until age 3 or older.
The feed these birds are raised on is a formulation developed by Edie, the owner of both Emerald Emu Ranch and e3 Emu Products. The formula was developed over a period of 6 years and with many trials and errors . . . it is now near perfection and is Emu specific. The birds are thirving and giving far above industry, expected yields of fat and standard average of meat. Any birds purchased by Emerald Emu Ranch or e3Emu Products are kept on our farm and feed out for a period of not less than 1 year. This gets them on to proper feed rations and into optimum condition in order to qualify for our Quality Assurance Program. All of e3 Emu Products are made from Fat that comes from our own Emu's.
Our Ostrich fat is purchased through Ostrich Breeders that meet our quality Assurance profile. The fat (Ostrich & Emu) is processed in British Columbia at a licensed certified Ratite oil faciliy. The fat is shipped there for processing and the finished product is sent back in a "refined state". It is then used in several cream fourmulations, bottled in its pure state, encapsulated or used in making soaps. The e3Emu Products line is growing and gaining momentum. The e3 Products can be found in several different locations and the number of retail outlets and distributors is growing daily.
Our fat refining process is as follows (cook refers to an individual bath of fat). The cooks are continually purged of oxygen with food grade nitrogen. Temperatures are carefully monitored in order to sustain maxiumum essential fatty acid content and minimize trans-fatty acids1. A food grade Stainless Steel filtration system is specifically designed for Ratite2 oils, takes the product through a 2 stage, 9 step filtration system to 2 microns. Continually purgined of oxygen, this filtration system also includes an anti-bacterial stage. No pumps or chemicals are used during the refining process. "We are physical refiners". Once all of the fat has been processed a sample is taken and sent to an independent laboratory for testing. We test for Peroxide Value (a test to check for rancidity in oils) we have a microbial analysis done and a fatty acid profile to determine the level of Omega 3, 6, & 9 essential fatty acids present. We also test for trans-fatty acid levels to see if there are any (there should be none). This guarantees Quality and Consistency as well as a Safety factor to ensure you, the consumer get the best quality available.
