Freezedried & Co launches its own outdoor freeze dried meals range

Posted on: 2026-05-05

For more than 15 years, Freezedried & Co has been supporting those who venture where they can only rely on themselves. At sea, in high mountains, on multi-day hikes, while bivouacking or in full self-sufficiency, eating well is not just a matter of comfort: it is a genuine necessity.

Over the years, we have seen thousands of customers, hundreds of expeditions and dozens of brands from around the world. We have tasted, compared and analysed. We have spoken with hikers, skippers, mountaineers, long-distance travellers, field professionals and self-sufficiency enthusiasts. Over time, we have learnt to recognise what truly works. And also what works less well.

So one question naturally arose: why not create ourselves the freeze dried meals we would really love to find in the field?

A range born from our field experience

This new range of freeze dried meals bears our name and that is no coincidence. For us, it represents a strong commitment: putting our expertise to work on products we master, understand and are proud to offer. We did not simply want to add a new item to our catalogue. We wanted to build a coherent, useful, reliable range suited to real-world conditions.

The starting idea was straightforward: offer the essentials, without compromise. Recipes that you actually want to eat, even after several days outdoors. Portions designed to provide energy and satiety. Easy preparation, directly in the pouch, with only water to add. And above all, meals capable of meeting the real needs of those heading out into the wild on their own.

The 100% freeze drying choice

For this range, we made the choice of 100% freeze drying. This point matters, because not all outdoor meals use the same process. Freeze drying removes moisture from food using cold and vacuum, without excessive heat. It is today one of the most effective methods for preserving nutritional quality, flavour, texture and lightness.

In practice, this makes a real difference. A freeze dried meal is light to carry, quick to prepare and has a long shelf life, while delivering better flavour restitution than simple traditional dehydration. When every gram counts in a backpack, when space is limited on a boat or when you are building a long-term food supply, this technical choice makes complete sense.

Recipes designed for different profiles

We know that needs vary from person to person. Some people are looking above all for a filling meal after a big day's effort. Others need a vegetarian, gluten-free or allergen-free recipe. Some prefer simple, natural ingredients, while others are primarily looking for a practical, reliable and long-lasting solution. That is why this range was designed with several priorities in mind: enjoyment, nutrition, satiety, ease of use and adaptability.

Six recipes in the range are made with 100% natural ingredients. Some options also cater to specific dietary needs, with vegetarian, gluten-free or allergen-free recipes. The goal is not complexity, but meals that are straightforward, effective and suited to real field conditions. Because a good outdoor meal should remain simple: it should be tasty, convenient, filling and easy to prepare, even in imperfect conditions.

A complete range for every moment of the adventure

The Freezedried & Co range currently comprises 8 savoury freeze dried meals, 1 breakfast, 1 dessert and 2 selection Packs. The aim is simple: to offer a complete solution for every moment of a self-sufficient outing, from waking up to the evening meal.

The range includes:

  • 1 breakfast, with the grand departure breakfast, designed to fuel you up in the morning before a day of hiking, cycling or sustained effort.
  • 8 savoury meals, with varied recipes to avoid monotony over several days: Baroudeur's bolognese pasta, bivouac carbonara pasta, summit mac and cheese, hiker's chicken tikka, campfire chicken fajita, explorer's coconut rice, adventurer's chicken fried rice and stargazer's braised beef. Meals designed to be both filling, convenient and comforting after exertion.
  • 1 dessert, with granny's chocolate mousse, a sweet and indulgent treat to savour at the end of a meal, even in the middle of nowhere.
  • 2 selection Packs, designed to simplify trip preparation. The selection of 5 freeze dried meals makes it easy to gear up for an extended weekend, a multi-day hike or a few days of bivouacking. The complete selection, comprising 8 savoury meals, 1 breakfast and 1 dessert, offers a broader solution for several days of self-sufficiency.

Up to 6 years' shelf life

Self-sufficiency is not just about adventure. It is also about the ability to plan ahead, stockpile and organise. That is why we also focused on the shelf life of this range, with a best-before date of up to 6 years. This addresses the needs of hikers, travellers and sailors, as well as those looking to build a reliable long-term food supply.

For an expedition departure, a bug-out bag, an onboard reserve or simply an emergency food supply at home, a long shelf life is a genuine advantage. It reduces waste, makes it easier to plan your needs and provides a simple solution to keep close at hand.

A range designed to go wherever you go

This range was designed for real-world conditions. Not for an ideal tasting in a laboratory, but for the moments when you truly need a reliable meal: after 20 kilometres (12.4 miles) of hiking, during a crossing, at the top of a mountain pass, under a tent, in a refuge, on a boat or in a situation of extended self-sufficiency.

We designed it with everything we have learnt over more than 15 years. With feedback from our customers. With our knowledge of brands, recipes, field requirements and storage constraints. It bears our name because it reflects our approach to outdoor food: practical, serious, accessible, but always focused on the pleasure of eating well.

Now it's your turn to test it. And to tell us what you think. Eat well. Anywhere.
