WHY QUINTESSENCIA?

Quintessencia is Different

Quintessencia is not just another caterer or restaurant. We’re different – we’re an integrated, environmentally conscious culinary service company offering customized personal chef and private event services, as well as health and nutrition counseling, cooking classes, parties, workshops, and travel programs.

Our clients say we’re different because we:

• Tantalize your senses –  Whether you experience a Quintessencia culinary creation in your own home, at a party, or as the result of our health and nutrition counseling, our meals taste good. But they also look, smell, feel, and even sound good. We engage all your senses to heighten your culinary experience.
• Concentrate on you –  Many other caterers or restaurants limit clients to pre-defined, set menus – Quintessencia does not. We realize that you are unique. Whether you have food allergies, dietary restrictions, or just certain preferences, we create personalized delicious programs, events, and menus that will provide you with unforgettable, life changing experiences.
• Focus on freshness –  Committed to environmentally sensitive businesses, we use only the finest quality, organic, sustainably farmed ingredients to provide fresh, enjoyable meals.
• Care about health –  Many other food service professionals do not focus on organic ingredients to promote health. Quintessencia does. We concentrate on using the freshest, organic, sustainably farmed ingredients because we believe that food is a healing tool that can help you maintain good health. Whether you experience our health and nutrition counseling, events, or personal chef services, we will show you that nutritious food can taste marvelous and improve your wellness.
• Take a holistic approach –  Rather than consider only a single aspect of your life, we look at the whole picture to deliver our culinary programs – from unique, healthy meals for you and your family to exceptional events or personalized health and nutrition counseling, we can easily accommodate all your needs.
