The Quva system
Why Quva?
The Quva system is based on the simple premise
that when food is protected from air and other
environmental factors, it remains fresh significantly
longer. Quva keeps your food fresh up to 3-times
longer when used with our specially designed bags,
fresh containers, and other accessories. Storing
vacuum sealed food in the freezer will protect it from
freezer burn that can otherwise negatively affect
the taste and texture of your food. Meat, fish, and
other food items will stay in great shape, even after
prolonged freezer storage. Importantly, the Quva
system is always there when you need it once it
becomes fully integrated into your kitchen cabinetry.

on helping you to keep your food fresh, last longer and reduce food waste. Visit
