Essential is a bake-at-home bread brand that streamlines the process of making artisanal loaves at home. During the pandemic, many people discovered the satisfaction of making bread from scratch at home, finding joy in the process during their abundance of spare time. However, as daily life resumed its hectic pace, the art of bread-making gradually slipped from their routines, prompting bake-at-home brands like Essential to step in with time-saving solutions, offering convenient ways for people to enjoy the deliciousness of artisanal bread without the lengthy preparation.
Launching at Natural Products Expo West 2024, Essential shares comforting flavors like French and Rosemary in Fresh Seal packaging that locks in flavor and freshness—without needing freezing, chemicals or preservatives. Once removed from its packaging, the bread is ready to be freshly baked in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes.
