How are the Bully Sticks Odor-Free???
We are able to produce odor-free bully sticks because of the level of care and labor that goes into manufacturing our treats.
>> Our way of making bully sticks: immediately after slaughter, the pizzles are collected and stored in a refrigerated truck, until it makes its way to the processing plant. From here, the pizzles are stored in a freezer until they’re ready to process. Refrigeration is very expensive in Brazil, so not all manufacturers of bully sticks are willing to spend the additional money to include that step in their manufacturing process.
Each pizzle is washed thoroughly in a hot water rinse - both blood and urine are water soluble so this step will remove most of the odor. The bully stick is then hung vertically and then baked - since it’s hanging vertically the remaining odor can drain throughout the cooking process.
>> The cheap way of making bully sticks: after the cattle is slaughtered, various body parts (including the pizzle) are set aside while it festers until workers come to collect them to make dog treats. The bully sticks are collected and then sun dried on steel corrugated roof tops. This is the cheapest way to make bully sticks.
This process does nothing to remove odor - much of which is caused by the blood and urine present within the pizzle.
