Essenza Amalfitana is a company founded in early 2023 Danara Cavalieri (Venezuelan with Italian roots), Franco Amendola ( italian) and Ana Maria Rotolo (Spaniard with Italian and Spanish heritage – Danara mom). The three founders, who view the kitchen as a place of family connection and growth, created this brand to allow others to experience the flavors that represent their childhood memories and cultural roots.

Their first recipe, Melanzane Sott’olio (eggplant in oil), connects deeply to the tradition of family love, especially recalling the heritage of the Amendola family in Amalfi. This traditional dish, lovingly made by Mario for his family, reflects the preservation of authentic flavors.

Essenza Amalfitana is committed to being an artisan company. They emphasize using traditional methods without additives or preservatives, aiming to respect the original recipes and bring out the best in the antipasti they offer.
