parte esencial / parte integrante
Explanation:
Here’s the definition in English:

{Part and parcel}, an essential or constituent portion; -- a reduplicative phrase. Cf. {might and main}, {kith and kin}, etc. ``She was . . . part and parcel of the race and place.'' --Howitt.

Based on the above, you certainly could say “parte esencial.” Collins also gives “parte integrante”

Hope it helps.
