A TRUE BRAND

We cultivate, cook, freeze-dry, pack and even communicate by ourselves. We are not just another brand that simply puts its label on a product made by someone else.

Let’s get to know each other

EXPLORE

We combine over 30 years of experience in freeze-drying technology, gourmet small-batch cooking and natural, high-quality ingredients.

LYOFOOD comes from the world of Himalayan expeditions and ocean racing. Our food has been repeatedly tested in the most remote places and the harshest conditions. As a result, we have won not only devoted customers and loyal brand ambassadors, but also numerous awards including The Gold Industry Award for "the tastiest outdoor meals on the market."

...it all started in the ‘80s with one daring engineer...

Testimonials

We appreciate and value ....

I can’t imagine going on an expedition without high-quality freeze-dried food. LYOFOOD products reduce the weight I have to carry and also help me eat well.

Sílvia VidalBig wall Climber, Alpinist, Explorer

I need plenty of LYO on every expedition. You have to eat something and LYOFOOD products are great.

Adam BieleckiMountaineer, Alpinist, Climber, Explorer

The drinks and fruit snacks during a long stay at the base camp bring so much comfort.

Mathieu MaynadierAlpinist, Big wall Climber, Skier

On a high-altitude expedition your sense of taste can change a lot, and it is difficult to eat. However, Mash and Cheese always remains tasty and easy to consume for me.

Liv SansozAlpinist, Skier, Paraglider

LYOFOOD pasta dishes are a must as it is the fuel for most of my trips.

Mateusz WaligóraExplorer, Adventurer

Chicken Tikka Masala! It tastes simply delicious, and when you are resting in a bivouac after a long, tiring day on a mountain, it is really important.

Roger SchäliAlpinist, Big wall Climber, Paraglider

LYO FORMULA is the only product to hydrate my energy demand for long endurance, with electrolytes and glucide coming from fresh food.

MEALS FOR ASTRONAUTS

The Bonus Food project aims to provide astronauts on a space mission with special food products that supplement their basic menu. Technically, Bonus Food is no different from the basic freeze-dried "space" food. Its uniqueness lies in its taste, which evokes places thousands of kilometers away – one’s country of residence, family home, or favorite restaurant.

How we created dishes for a space mission.

READ MORE

For this mission, LYOFOOD, in cooperation with the European Space Agency, has created a unique menu of Bonus Food meals. The recipes for three dishes were developed by renowned Polish chef and restaurateur Mateusz Gessler.

As a European Space Agency (ESA) project astronaut and a member of the commercial human spaceflight Axiom Mission 4, Dr. Sławosz Uznański-Wiśniewski will implement an ambitious technological and scientific program, including over a dozen experiments proposed by the Polish space industry and developed under the leadership of ESA. The mission is scheduled for spring 2025.
