The jar and its history

Terracotta and oil have been linked since ancient times. It was, and still is, important that the oil be preserved and stored in the correct way away from elements that could ruin it, such as light, heat and oxygen.
These have the ability to alter the organoleptic and chemical characteristics of the oil.

Terracotta has always played a fundamental role over the years for all peoples in terms of preserving food and, therefore, also oil.
Thanks to the invention of amphorae and jars, in particular, the trade of products such as oil and wine was made possible, even over long distances.

The ceramic jar is a true art that has its roots in the Puglia region, it is completely handmade and is a unique product.
