Essenza Amalfitana is a company founded by immigrants: Franco (Italian), Danara (Venezuelan with Italian grandparents), and Ana Maria (Spaniard with an Italian father and Spanish mother).

The three 3 of us have come a long way before we came to realize that the kitchen was the place of convergence and growth for us with our family background.

Our company was founded at the beginning of 2023 to create a brand that allows people to connect with their childhood memories, roots, or dreams of discovering new cultures through flavors that are not well-known to them.

The first recipe we created, connects with the love of the family, the eggplant in oil (melanzane Sott'olio), this recipe takes us to the heart of Amalfi, to the Amendola family, specially to Mario, who according to tradition prepare it with his own hands, for his whole family, leaving in every bite a little bit of his love for his family, for the kitchen maintaining all of its traditional flavors.

Essenza Amalfitana is just that, a company that was born from that love, and tries to transmit it, as the family tradition has been from its origins. We do not use any additives, preservatives, or any other substance that is not part of the original recipe; we follow the traditional methods, respecting the products and getting the best of them in our antipasti.

We consider ourselves an Artisan Company, whose members love what they do.

Our approach is rooted in honesty, quality, and a deep respect for our roots. We are committed to preserving the essence of artisanal Italian cooking while sharing it with a wider community.

We believe in the power of lasting relationships — with our customers, collaborators, and local partners. Every step we take is aimed at creating meaningful connections, joyful moments, and exceptional service.

We are constantly learning, evolving, and inspired by every conversation, every event, and every smile. Whether you're enjoying our food at home, at an event, or through catering, we are here to make it memorable.

Our vision as a Company is to foster a world where humanity embraces its diversity, understanding itself through the myriad of flavors our planet offers. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery and celebration, uniting in the shared experience of exploring flavors and cultures, discovering what truly makes us uniquely human.

Our mission is to meticulously craft recipes inspired by our rich ancestry rooted in Mediterranean cultures, paying homage to time-honored traditions through artisanal processes and the use of natural, chemical-free ingredients. We strive to evoke nostalgia and foster deep connections among individuals by infusing our dishes with the essence of our passion for food and the diverse tapestry of global culinary influences. Through our culinary creations, we aspire to cultivate a profound sense of belonging in a world brimming with enriching experiences and uplifting emotions.
