Why Hunni only carries Essential Heritage – and what the difference is between the two kitchens
When we at Hunni choose to carry certain products, it’s not just about price and availability — it’s about quality, philosophy, and what’s best for your dog. That’s why we’ve chosen to exclusively carry the Essential Heritage (British Heritage Kitchen) range. Here we explain why — and what the difference is between the two Essential kitchens.
Two kitchens at Essential
Essential Foods produces their dog meals in two kitchens:
-
British Heritage Kitchens – the traditional British cuisine
-
Heartland Kitchens – the European kitchen
The recipes are basically the same, but there are differences in ingredients, preparation and quality.
What makes British Heritage special?
-
Premium British produce – local ingredients, free-range meat and fishing
-
Gentle cooking – cooked at a maximum of 82°C to preserve flavour and nutrition
-
Almost handmade production – focus on quality and details
-
Premium standard – Heritage is described as Essentials' most exclusive kitchen
What characterizes the Heartland kitchen?
-
Raw materials from selected suppliers throughout Europe
-
More efficient production on a larger scale
-
Often a lower price due to sourcing and production
Why has Hunni chosen to only run Heritage?
-
Highest quality – Heritage lives up to the standard we want to offer
-
Clear origin – British raw materials provide transparency and consistent quality
-
Perfect match for our values – focus on quality, responsibility and uncompromising nutrition
-
Our customers – many prefer premium food with extra care in preparation and ingredients
How to choose the right product?
Within the Heritage series there are different variants, for example:
-
Beginning – for puppies
-
Older – for senior dogs
-
Living – for adult dogs with specific preferences
At Hunni, we have chosen to exclusively carry Essential Heritage because it represents the highest level of quality, ingredients and preparation. While the Heartland series is also a solid choice, Heritage best reflects the values and quality we want to pass on to you and your dog.
If you have any questions about choosing the right variant from the Heritage series, you are always welcome to contact us at Hunni.
