Why we freeze 
— and why you’ll 
love it

Why we love freshly frozen food

At Délidoor, we freeze our meals for a reason — not as a compromise, but as a commitment to quality, convenience, and the environment.

In France, quality food and frozen food isn't a contradiction — it's part of everyday culinary culture. Popular frozen food stores like Picard are beloved by French households of all kinds, who understand that freezing is simply about preserving well-prepared food at its best. We've brought this appreciation for convenient, high-quality cuisine to Australia, blending the best of both food cultures. So, we embrace freezing as our petit secret culinaire — a way to bring you exceptional meals without preservatives, shortcuts, or waste. It’s how we take dinner off your plate, every day. And in a country as vast as Australia, it also means we can deliver our meals further and wider — bringing more people access to real, chef-made food, no matter where they live. When life gets busy, knowing there’s something good in the freezer means you’re less likely to reach for unhealthy options — and more likely to enjoy real food, made with care.And that’s just the beginning. There are plenty more reasons to love frozen.

The Magic of Fresh Frozen:
Quality Without Compromise

At Délidoor, we believe nothing beats a freshly-made meal—which is exactly why we freeze ours. Each dish is carefully prepared from scratch in our kitchen using techniques and ingredients any accomplished chef français would approve of, then immediately frozen to preserve that perfect moment of culinary excellence.

A Natural Pause and Preservation Method

Freezing is simply nature's pause button—a way to capture food at its best until you're ready to enjoy it. It's like pressing "pause" on a freshly prepared dish until you decide to press "play" in your own home. No need for artificial preservatives. emulsifiers or additives—just honest ingredients that would be found in any good cook's fridge or pantry.

Freezing is a natural preservation method. We cook each dish from scratch in small batches using high-quality ingredients, then freeze at peak freshness to lock in flavour and nutrients. No preservatives, no additives—just good food with a little French savoir-faire, ready to enjoy as if freshly prepared in your own kitchen.

Freezing Reduces Food Waste

We believe convenience shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Freezing helps reduce household food waste by letting you heat only what you need, when you need it — so nothing goes to waste. Globally, 30–40% of food produced ends up wasted. At home, that hits your wallet — and the environment. Most food waste ends up in landfill, where it emits methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Frozen food has a naturally longer shelf life, meaning you can enjoy it when it suits you — not just within a few days. That makes it a smarter, more sustainable choice for modern households that want to eat well and waste less.
