Lyo offer 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:
If you are planning a romantic camping trip for two, we recommend choosing something else. However, if you are looking for a warming soup with a distinct onion flavor, this cream of onion, leek and potato is a hit. A few slices of Pecorino Romano and a handful of chickpeas complete the dish we all crave once in a while.

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 fill 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.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - "excellent flavour, but only a hint of cheese, it would make a good lunch but not for an evening meal. It could have done with something like a potato to bulk it out a little" |
