Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Lyo offer expedition meals using natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They stand out from the crowd with unique recipes, the use of chunky ingredients that result in more natural, home style meals.

LYO says: 

"The creamy delight from Spain." World famous Spanish dessert made with egg yolks and milk with a hint of orange and cinnamon. Even if you find yourself imprisoned in a tent during a cold winter blizzard this dessert will teleport your shivering mind to a small bistro in Barcelona, for a moment.

Our Verdict

LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.

The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.

The full line for adding water to the packs is novel, with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best, but it still works.
