About Bovine marrowbone

A bovine marrowbone is a cut of cattle bone containing marrow, often taken from the leg or shank. It is sold as cross-cut rounds or lengthwise-split pieces; the exposed marrow is soft and fatty, while the surrounding bone is hard and inedible.

Marrowbones are commonly roasted or simmered to render or release the marrow, which has a rich, savoury flavour and a soft, spreadable texture when heated. The amount of marrow varies by cut, and the bone itself is generally used to impart flavour to stocks rather than eaten.
