This is a wonderful expression of the basic terra cotta form made from clay which has been used since classical times. I love the earthiness and simplicity of terra cotta -- basic earth, low fired with an interior glaze. When I am not making soups in it, I place it as a decorative piece on the shelf in my kitchen, so I can enjoy it every day.

Originally this jar was the traditional way of storing olives until this century.

You can use the jar for storing beans or rice in the kitchen; but even better -- it is the perfect medium for a slow cooked stew once it is cured. We include the directions for that simple process.
Absolutely food-safe, lead-free terra cotta.
