Responsible Deliciousness

AmassWinter

Mindset

How do we use deliciousness as a vessel to show a different way forward? At ESSE, we ask ourselves this question daily. Where do our vegetables come from and how are they produced? More nutrients equal more flavor. Where does our fish come from and how is it caught? Low impact fishing methods preserve ecosystems and delivers a quality of fish where the flavor is unmatched. And most importantly, how do we treat these products as a whole and with the utmost respect? How do we extract maximum flavor from every part of the product?

At ESSE, flavor is gold and we strive not to leave any flavor behind in our processes.
