ESSENTIAL FOODS - GALLERY



 
At our warehouse in Bristol we have a large organically certified manufacturing and packing facility from which we produce an extensive range of pre-packed goods on our Essential label.

We also offer an "own label" organic pre-pack option to our retail customers. Additionally, we work with numerous manufacturers and organic farms in Europe and beyond to offer an ever expanding and competitively priced range of Essential branded goods. Examples of the diversity of this work can be found below

Essential Organic Coconut Milk

Our new addition from our farmers in Sri Lanka is made from pressed fresh coconut kernel.

Many people - in particular children - suffer from lactose intolerance. This milk can act as a great replacement for milk and soya products since it is free of additives or animal-derived proteins. It is also a raw food product, not heat treated in any way.

Essential Organic Pasta

     
The new pasta range includes wholewheat and white pasta versions of classic pasta shapes, plus a couple of less well-know varieties: Tortiglioni, somewhat larger than penne and a little like twisted hollow macaroni, and Lumachi, a big snail shell shape.

Essential Organic Clear Broth and Mediterranean Bouillon

Two products under the Essential-stroke-Vitam-R brand, which means that they started off as Vitam-R brand but have migrated, as any sensible product would, over to the Essential label: Organic Clear Broth Stock and Organic Mediterranean Bouillon.
Both are vegan and have yeast extract as their greatest ingredient. The Clear Broth, which can be a hot drink or a base for soups and stews contains a delicious combination of dried vegetables and spices. Mediterranean Boullion paste uses lovage, oregano and basil as a fragrant base of Southern European herbs.

Essential Yeast Extract
