About us
Essentia distributes high quality fine foods from around the globe in Taiwan. Our focus is on premium confectionery, wine and seafood. We carefully select and concentrate on a few premier brands that are market leader in their respective industry segment and occupy a niche. All our suppliers have a long history and tradition, and we tend to select “hidden gems” with exquisite quality.
The finest Chocolate Marzipan comes from Niederegger, the most famous Marzipan brand from Lubeck, Germany with a proud history since 1806. Niederegger is the only brand in the world that uses 100% Marzipan paste for their product without added sugar, resulting in the uniquely highest quality Marzipan available.
When it comes to Italian wines, traditionally a lot of attention is given to the Northeast, but more recently Sicily has come back into focus. We represent an award-winning winery from Sicily, Barone di Serramarrocco with a rich history that goes back hundreds of years. The vineyard has the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status for Erice and the Trapani province and most of the grapes are native to Sicily.
Portugal is the global gold standard for tinned seafood. We represent Lucas, an award-winning Portuguese cannery active since 1896. Canned sea products are rich in Proteins, Vitamins and unsaturated Fatty Acids, absolutely essential for a healthy lifestyle. Lucas products are 100% natural, free of additives, preservatives and OGM’s and produced under the ISO 9000 and HACCP quality control.
