This eye-catching, hand-made ceramic plate is perfect for everyday dinners or special occasions. 100% made in Italy, this plate represents the centuries long tradition of hand-made pottery from Puglia. Since the 7th century BCE, pottery from this region has evolved according to design trends and the needs of the local people. With a clean, colorful design, these salad plates comes from Frantoio Muraglia, operated for five generations by the Muraglia family, prioritizes preserving the biodiversity of the agricultural landscape of Puglia and protecting the olive trees which are so vital to their company. Following ancient Italian tradition, the olives are harvested by hand and crushed using a stone mill. All of Frantoio Muraglia’s extra virgin olive oils are monocultivar, meaning they are made from a single variety of olive, either Peranzana or Coratina olives, both native to the region.
