Essenza means essence:
the single, defining character of an ingredient
and the place it grows.
We read an Italian pantry the way a sommelier reads a vineyard: by origin and by variety, one place and one ingredient at a time. We seek out food that tastes of the Italian region it comes from, shaped by the land that grows it and the hands that make it.
From Italian soil, and the families who have worked it for generations.
We bring in products made with genuine care and skill, by people who treat them as a craft and not a commodity.
Every primary ingredient traces back to the land in Italy best suited to grow it and to the people who know how to honour it.
Distinctive enough to stand out on a menu and to offer customers something they cannot find just anywhere.
For specialty retail and for the kitchens that want provenance they can trust, we’d like to hear from you.
