The story of Freezedry OÜ – about love for healthy food

Freezedry OÜ found its inception from love for healthy food like all great things might start from combination of chance and need. In year 2011, Mermi, the founder of Freezedry OÜ was looking for freeze-dried strawberries without any extra sugars to add to her cereal for her morning breakfast. By her surprise, she didn’t manage to find any. That motivated her to delve into the mysterious world of freeze-drying herself. Soon after, she mastered the craft and the smell and taste of organic Estonian strawberries was available for everyone! To date, we are the first and only factory using the freeze-drying technology in Estonia.

What can you use freeze-dried products for?

What is freeze-drying and how does it work?

Freeze-drying is the process of removing water from a frozen product in a vacuum environment using a phenomenon called sublimation – the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. This method minimizes cell breakage and preserves the shape, appearance, aroma, taste, and nutritional value of the product.

Why is freeze-drying necessary and where are freeze-fried products used?

Freeze-dried products are used in many different fields, the main one being the food industry, but also the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries.
In retail, freeze-dried products are mostly used as healthy and delicious snacks.
Depending on the product and packaging, freeze-drying extends the shelf life of the product up to three years without any loss of quality. This makes the transport, storage, and use of freeze-dried products very easy.

What can be freeze-dried at the Freezedry OÜ factory?

It turns out that anything with a moisture content can be freeze-dried. The main articles are berries, fruits, and vegetables, prepared meals, concentrates, herbs, mushrooms, and sprouts. If it is a unique product for which we do not have data, there is always the possibility of “test” freeze-drying.

Freezedry OÜ product development

All Freezedry OÜ MEKI brand products are developed and manufactured in a production building located in Simuna, Estonia, Lääne-Virumaa.
The products are made in small batches, and by supervising the entire production process from start to finish, we can be sure of the quality and freshness of the products.
In product development, we combine Nordic flavors that have been tested for centuries, with innovative raw materials and production techniques.
In our products, we only use the highest quality raw materials from Estonia or elsewhere.
We intend to use only Estonian raw materials as much as possible, because that’s what we know, feel and love the most.

  1. tasty
