Product Information & Care

What is terracotta?
Terracotta is an earthenware material made from natural clay, shaped and fired in a kiln. It is known for its warm, reddish-brown color and is widely used in pottery, décor, and kitchenware.

How durable are Terremaati’s products?
Terracotta is naturally durable but should be handled with care. Our products are designed for both indoor and outdoor use but should be protected from extreme temperature changes and heavy impact to avoid chipping or cracking.

Are Terremaati products food-safe?
Yes! Our terracotta products are 100% natural, unglazed, and safe for food use. They are free from harmful chemicals and toxins, ensuring an eco-friendly dining experience.

Can I use my terracotta cookware on an open flame?
Yes, our terracotta cookware can be used on a low open flame, in a microwave, or in the oven. For best results, start with a low flame to avoid thermal shock.

Does terracotta develop fungus?
In humid or damp conditions, terracotta may develop a natural white residue or mild fungus. To prevent this, allow your items to dry completely before storing and give them some sunlight after washing.

How should I clean my terracotta products?

  • Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water.
  • Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning tools.
  • Let the product air dry completely before storing.
  • For curd setters, clean with mild detergent or baking soda.
