Fratelli Colì has been producing terracotta and majolica by hand in Cutrofiano (LE) since 1650. The quality of the products that the company still offers today has been passed down from father to son for generations: a passion that, remaining unchanged over time, has given rise to unique products—both cookware and baking dishes—known and recognized for their antique charm, quality, and durability. Among the most appreciated items are the splatter ceramics and mottled plates, which best represent Apulian artisanal excellence. Even today, terracotta is ideal for natural cooking, capable of preserving the original flavors of raw ingredients, perfect for slow and delicate cooking, and for bringing to the table not only delicious food but also timeless beauty.

Obtaining this certification is a sign of trust towards a discerning clientele who sees environmental care as a distinguishing factor compared to the competition.
Quality Marks
MAR, HIGH RESISTANCE MAJOLICA
Twice as strong as normal ceramics, dishwasher safe, non-toxic, and microwave-safe. Tests conducted indicate that even after numerous washing cycles of 16 hours at 78°C with aggressive detergents, no loss of brilliance was detected. In impact resistance tests conducted with a 50g marble, it showed excellent resistance at the maximum allowed drop height (90 cm), while normal clays showed glaze cracks and complete breakage at drops from 65 cm. Mottled Apulian ceramics offer not only traditional beauty but also exceptional durability.
