Shelf Stable Food Systems

Gourmet Reserves® has shelf stable food systems designed to meet your needs with food that is nutritionally sound, convenient, and familiar. Our systems are practical and easily incorporated into your daily diet. Our exclusive "No Cooking Required" systems are easy to prepare. Items are eat-as-is or prepared by adding hot or cold water to reconstitute. We have selected the very best quality foods (freeze-dried, dehydrated, instant) completely free of artificial additives.

Freeze-dried products make up the majority of ingredients used for Gourmet Reserves®. This method retains the original taste and nutritional value of the food due to very low heat temperatures used. It extends the shelf-life and maintains flavor resulting in a great-tasting lightweight and compact product.

Dyhydration is used for some vegetable and spices which are more suited to this form of drying. With the addition of water, the product rehydrates back to its original state more easily.

AlpineAire Food systems are packaged in #10 size cans (approximately one gallon) or #2½ size cans (approximately one quart). These cans are heavy-gauge steel and enamel coated on the inside. Resealable plastic lids are included in all systems and on individual cans. Systems also include a can opener and cookbook.
