Why Air-Dried

Low and slow

Dried gently, so the good stuff stays in.

Most treats are cooked hard and fast. Ours are air-dried at a low temperature for 14 hours for barks and 16 hours for bars. Slow enough to keep the protein, fibre, vitamins and healthy oils that went in, and long enough to make them shelf-stable without artificial preservatives.

Why we air-dry

  • Nutrients kept, not cooked out

    High heat takes vitamins and natural oils with it. Gentle drying leaves them in the bark, where they belong.

  • Whole ingredients you can see

    Carrot, parsley, pumpkin, beetroot, blueberries, whole sardines. Snap a bark and you can see what is in it.

  • Pantry, not freezer

    Shelf-stable in a resealable pack. No thawing, no prep, no mess. Snap and go.

  • Safe without shortcuts

    Slow drying removes the moisture bacteria need, without raw handling in your kitchen. Vitamin E is the only preservative.
