The Art of Preservation
LYOVA — Freeze Dried Lemon Sticks, Product of Tunisia
Nature. Perfected.
We freeze dry fruits, vegetables and botanicals to keep everything that makes them good. The vitamins, the taste, the colour. That's lyophilization, and it's why we built LYOVA.

Where It Comes From
Grown in Tunisia.
Picked at the right moment.
“Freeze drying is only as good as what goes in. If the fruit is average when it enters the machine, it will be average when it comes out.”

Peak
Ripeness only
Tunisia has been growing lemons, strawberries, figs and dates for centuries. The Mediterranean climate, the rich coastal soil and the long hours of sun create produce with a depth of flavour that is hard to find anywhere else. Everything we source is chosen for that reason first. The variety matters too. We use Deglet Nour dates, widely considered the finest date in the world, and we apply the same standard of selection to everything else we bring in.
We work directly with small Tunisian farming families who have been tending the same land for generations. We visit them. We know them by name. And we choose what to harvest together, at the exact moment the fruit is ready. Not a week early to make logistics easier. Not a day late because we got busy. At the right moment.
This matters because freeze drying locks in everything that is already there. We obsess over that first step more than anything else. The machine just does its job. The quality comes from the field.
By buying directly and paying a fair price every time, we help local farming families invest back into their land and their communities. When LYOVA grows, they grow with us. That is not a side effect of what we do. It is part of the reason we built this.
No middlemen
We buy directly from the growers, every time.
Fair pricing
We pay what the produce is worth, not the minimum.
Seasonal harvests
We work with nature, not against it.
The Science
How Lyophilization Works
Freeze drying has been used in medicine and space food for decades. Here's why it's the best way to preserve what's actually inside your food.
Deep Freeze
We freeze freshly harvested produce at temperatures as low as −80°C. Everything stops at that moment. The colour, the smell, the nutrients. Exactly as it was when picked.
Vacuum Sublimation
The frozen produce goes into a vacuum chamber. At very low pressure, the ice turns straight into vapour without ever becoming liquid. No heat, no damage, no shortcuts.
Pure Concentrate
What's left is dry, light and full of flavour. Up to 97% of the water is gone but almost all the goodness is still there. It lasts for years and tastes like it was just picked.
Our Philosophy
Why Freeze Drying
97% Nutrients Retained
Most drying methods destroy a big part of what makes food good for you. Freeze drying keeps up to 97% of vitamins, antioxidants and natural enzymes intact.
No Heat Applied
The whole process stays cold. No heat is ever used, so nothing gets damaged. What you taste is what was in the original fruit or vegetable.
Nothing Added
There's nothing hidden in our products. The ingredient list is short on purpose. If it's not in the fruit, it's not in the bag.
Product of Tunisia
Our produce comes from Tunisia, where the sun is generous and the soil is rich. We work directly with growers and harvest at the right moment.
