SAPUTO PIZZA STONES

Saputo pizza stones are handmade by Italian artisans in Naples Italy and are used in 90% of the pizzerias making Neapolitan Pizza in the city of Naples... Saputo stones are handmade by Italian artisans in Naples Italy using the methods and techniques that have been used for generations. Saputo mines its clay from the gulf of Naples. This alluvial clay imparts each pizza stone with unique mineral content that is exclusive to this region of Italy. Using the local clay, each stone begins its life by being hand formed into wooden molds. The clay forms are then air dried allowing the clay to release a specific amount of moisture before firing. Once sufficiently air dried, the forms are carefully loaded into a wood fired kiln. The kiln is fired to a specific temperature, and the artisans stay with the kiln for several days & nights to maintain the kiln temperature. Once the firing process is complete, the stones are removed and ready for use... Did you know that 90% of pizzerias in Naples..
