As someone who has a large number of food allergies, I am hard pressed to find lightweight, nutritious options for the back-country free of gluten, grain, soy, corn, dairy and egg-whites. Wild Zora keeps me preforming at my best in some of the roughest, most isolated terrain in New Mexico, with whole foods that keep my intestines feeling well. With the help of Wild Zora nutrition options (including the dehydrated meals, meat bars, teas, and air-dried fruits), I have summit-ed mountains, crossed Basalt bad-lands, and traversed wilderness so forgotten by man the trails can't even be found via satellite. Thank you Wild Zora for providing products that help me feel my best in wild and empower me to go further.
I particularly love the Mediterranean Lamb bars, which are meaty, earthy, herbal, and slightly fruity without being gamey or tooth-achingly sweet. They are a great trail snack for my fiance and I when we are gaining altitude and need a slight pick-me-up. They also pair really well with a semi-sweet white wine (think Sav Blanc) for anyone who has packed-in alcohol to the back-county after a long day on the trail.
Let me add: To all of those using Wild Zora products to prepare for disasters, Wild Zora can help you live your best life today, not just when things get rough. Sure, it costs more to buy Wild Zora products, but that is because they use organic and free-range foods in allergy containment conditions that ensure that allergen cross-contamination is never an issue. So, whether I am facing hail from a mountain related freak-weather system (of course, well-below the tree-line and with sufficiently water-proof gear) or I am just feeling slightly under the weather myself, Wild Zora is there for me---and they can be there for you too.
Live your best life with Wild Zora, I...
Read morePrior to finding Wild Zora, my snack bar of choice was a well known, widely distributed Paleo jerky bar. However, I never cared for how that company's bars were technically "meat and fruit" bars. I so badly wanted to find a bar with vegetables included. Enter Wild Zora.
Upon starting the AIP, which limited my on-the-go snacks even more I found Wild Zora, which offers 2 AIP-friendly bars...that also happen to be "meat and veggie" bars. Prayers answered. So far I have tried the 2 AIP bars that Wild Zora currently offers, "Mediterranean Lamb" and "Apple Pork." I am continuously blown away by the outstanding taste, ingredients and lovely texture. No thick, dry, or hard to chew bars here. The bars are split into 2 thinner pieces, giving them just the right amount of chewiness, and keeping them from hurting your jaw when you bite into them.
If that wasn't enough, the folks at Wild Zora have the best customer service I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I did not even realize I was speaking with the co-founder, Josh, until after several exchanges, for he was so friendly and helpful. I thought he was just the best customer service representative around! That of course is true, but he is also a founder that clearly cares about his customers.
On that note, if you take the best tasting jerky bars and combine them with the highest quality customer service to be found, you get Wild Zora...my new favorite Paleo, AIP snack company. Thank you to Josh, Zora and WZ team for creating healthy, delicious snacks with the welfare of your customers in mind. I am a fan and...
Read moreWild Zora offers a wide variety of healthy, high quality foods.
BARS: I first became interested in their bars as I like carrying them as a clean source of protein, fruit & veg. As a Celiac I usually carry something all the time just in case (JIC).
MEALS: The quality and convenience lead me to try their various freeze dried meals. When I travel (esp on road trips) I do not always have a safe choice for a meal. I travel with a cooler with at least 1 JIC meal per day, which takes up quite a bit of space in the car. I worry that the food will go bad as hotel refrigerators are not always the best. Wild Zora allows me to take more and not be worried about the freshness of the food toward the end of the trip. Also, the meals are a large portion with a hefty portion of veg.
OTHER: I recently purchased a sample box, and I am working thru the various other products and have not been disappointed.
CUSTOMER SERVICE: I have been very pleased with my experience with Wild Zora's customer service. I contacted them about a minor issue, which did not effect the quality or safety of the food. I just wanted to provide the feedback. They were very quick to respond to my feedback and Zora, herself, responded to follow-up.
Overall, I am very impressed with Wild Zora's products and a company has a whole. Try them out, you...
