About Essentia by Holger Deh

 

Founded in Hong Kong by the acclaimed Pastry Chef Holger Deh, Essentia was born on the grounds of limited plant-based patisserie creations to be found on the market. Those who follow a plant-based diet have been seeking recipes within the community to produce homemade treats.

We believe that sweetness is to be enjoyed by everyone, and choosing a plant-based diet doesn’t mean that you have to compromise your cravings for sweet things in life. Whether you are searching for healthier, lighter sweets and pastries or simply interested in innovative desserts, Essentia is here to provide sophisticated and elegant products made with plant-based, natural ingredients.
