THE SICILIAN BURNIA
The timeless charm of the most iconic jar in the Mediterranean
From the ancient Sicilian peasant tradition comes the burnia, an entirely handmade jar in glazed terracotta.
This collection is a tribute to an ever-present object in Sicilian homes, fundamental for the preparation of many dishes.
It was used to preserve foods in salt and brine, such as aubergines, anchovies, olives and meat. Once filled, it was closed with a lid to ensure perfect preservation.
Today, thanks to our craftsmanship, we have brought back to life this symbol of Mediterranean cuisine, evoking ancient aromas and memories of Sunday family meals.
The burnia is now a versatile decorative object, perfect as a flower vase, furnishing accessory or food container.
