Dutch Essentials and Esser Essence in Sustainable Production

Dutch Essentials delivers the highest quality essential oils made from natural products. Therefore, collaborating with Esser Essence from northwest Turkey is no surprise. Turkey is, after all, among the top 5 agricultural producers globally. With its diverse climate and rich agricultural traditions, the country has a solid advantage in this field. However, Esser Essence approaches this differently.


How did Esser Essence come about?


Mustafa Esser decided in 2018 to acquire a piece of land with his sister. Not just an investment, but a leap into sustainable entrepreneurship. This forgotten piece of land in northwest Turkey hadn't seen any agricultural activity for 40 years, resulting in surprisingly clean and nutrient-rich soil, as revealed by subsequent soil analyses. The idea was to focus on producing essential oils, especially through organic farming. This was an ambitious goal considering that organic farming isn't prevalent in Turkey. Traditional farming methods play a significant role here, often involving the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, the certification process can be challenging and time-consuming. Nonetheless, Mustafa deemed it worthwhile and obtained his organic certification in 2023. His goal? "To build a company for my

children."



Why lavender?


In early 2020, Mustafa planted lavender across the entire land area, spanning 23,000 square meters. But why lavender? "Lavender is a hardy plant that can withstand the cold, even in the chilly climates of northwest Turkey," Mustafa explains. Mine Pakkaner, a renowned agricultural engineer in Turkey, taught Mustafa's family everything they needed to know. After three years, the first harvest was brought in. Currently, the harvests are steam-distilled by a third-party with bio-certification. "Eventually, we want to do this ourselves."


How do they operate?


They irrigate the estate using a convenient drip irrigation system, drawing water from their own well. Additionally, everything runs on solar energy. Moreover, to support the local community, the family business prefers hiring local workers. This way, they contribute to sustainability and the local economy.


The collaboration between Dutch Essentials and Esser Essence


Dutch Essentials is proud to collaborate with the sustainable family business. Here, Esser Essence comes in handy. The quality is of the highest standard, and due to the location and soil quality, Esser can guarantee this. "In partnership with Esser Essence, we strive for the very best essential oils and hydrosols."


Essential oils and hydrosols are available starting from 10 ml. For more information, please feel free to contact us!
