What is freeze-dried?

Freeze-dried is Latin for sublimated/ freeze-dried. Fresh product without water but with full nutritional value.

It is not boiled, not fried and not chemically treated.

Freeze-dried or lyophilisation is a process in which fresh produce is first flash frozen. Then, in a vacuum environment, the water is removed without the use of high temperatures.

This means:

• the product is not "baked" or "boiled";

• the proteins, vitamins and fats are not damaged;

• the natural texture, flavour and aroma are preserved.

The result is a light, crispy and highly nutritious product for your pet.

How is this different from other production methods?

Thermal drying:
It is done with heat. Only 50-70% of the nutritional value remains, a significant part is lost and the taste and fat structure may change.

Smoking:
Salt or additives are often used, unwanted by-products may occur.

Extrusion (pellets, croquettes):
Very high temperatures and pressures significantly alter the natural composition of the raw materials.

Freeze-dried method keeps the product as close as possible to its natural state up to 90-97% of its nutritional value.
