100% plant-based, always!
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.
Modern Patisserie Evolution to a Natural and Healthier Future
Holger Deh, Founder
Holger has extensive experience in the pastry world having worked as Executive Pastry Chef for 2 decades in 5 star Hotels & Resorts and world-acclaimed restaurants. His career path gave him the opportunities to work for some of the best in the market, such as Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons and Peninsula to name a few.
Before founding Essentia by Holger Deh, Holger was at the helm of Butterfly Patisserie at Rosewood Hong Kong where he rose to fame in Hong Kong.
Breaking out of the mainstream market, Holger developed his knowledge and used his skills to create products that are 100% plant-based. This is just the beginning…
