When Essential Cuisine came to market, they filled a niche very well.
I’ve been using Essential Cuisine for over 8 years. In a really busy restaurant sometimes you haven’t got the time to make an excellent stock or jus. Their stocks and jus are extremely ‘essential’ for our operation.

Matt Davies, Group Exec Chef - The Lewis Partnership

It’s a real partnership, not a salesperson, but chef to chef.
