Livia’s story started in Olivia’s kitchen back in 2014 when she had been diagnosed with a long list of severe food intolerances. She wanted to still be able to enjoy sweet treats and started baking in her kitchen. That’s when the idea of launching a free-from and natural snack range came to her mind.
Livia’s products include nugglets (dough balls), million squares as well as Dunx (cookies). Livia prioritises quality over quantity, although only a few products available the taste is amazing, and you won’t notice that they are free-from and natural. They are also launching an advent calendar for Christmas, and we’re so excited to try it out!
