TERRA COTTA … NOT ONLY FOR TILES!

One of the oldest and most famous Tuscan “recipes”.

You can find it in the Medici Villas
but also in the ancient country houses,
it was used by the Etruscans to store the olive oil
and in the Middle Ages to realise bowls for food and wine, Brunelleschi choose it for his Cupola
and our grand mothers used it to cook the bean soup …

TERRA COTTA has been a constant presence in our history.

In a traditional “fornace”, hidden amid forests and vinyards,
you will discover how to make a jar,
literally from the clay to the final product.
