shaped by hand through
beating on specific iron poles with wooden mallets and special hammers for small productions, or with the lathe for larger ones.
This processing technique gives the copper not only an aesthetically enhanced appearance, but also greater
resistance to wear , for a molecular hardening effect.
Subsequently, each product is
tinned by hand over the fire, manually distributing the molten tin inside the cookware, so as to make it safe and hygienic.
Finally, biodegradable products are used for manual cleaning and sanding, and the final polishing involves brushing until a total shine is obtained.
Where necessary, the handles are fixed with rivets, to ensure a strong and lasting grip.

The choice of materials is the first important starting point: a diligent selection is made to choose only
materials of excellent quality. So the copper used is pure copper, with the right physical qualities for perfect modeling. The brass for the handles comes from individual first choice ingots for artisanal casting and the tin used is 100% pure virgin suitable for food use, in compliance with the regulations and with a certificate of analysis.
The material: Copper was the first metal to be worked by man. It is a
practically indestructible noble metal with a high ecological value. This is why owning a copper kitchen utensil can mean owning a part of human history, which brings joy and charm in the preparation of meals and in the presentation of dishes.
Copper is suitable for long and accurate cooking due to its
thermal conductivity which allows the heat to spread evenly over the entire pot and lid so that, once the desired temperature is reached,
energy savings are obtained as it requires little heat.
Technical features and warnings:- Can be used for gas, radiant or electric cooking, preferably with low flames;
- Do not use sharp objects in direct contact with the interior, we recommend wooden cutlery to avoid scratches in the tin plating;
- Do not use steel wool pads for internal cleaning, in order to avoid the removal of the tin;

antique color . For those who prefer shiny copper it is recommended to use (only outside) the vinegar and salt solution and rub in steel wool, or copper cleaning products, easily available on the market. Pond will also tend to darken but this natural reaction does not affect its hygiene. If the coating of the tin plating is no longer uniform, it will be essential to proceed with a new tin plating for which you can contact the supplier or experts in the sector directly. With the correct precautions indicated above, tin plating can last up to 9/10 years.
