Emile Henry
The Burgundy Region in the heart of France is the home of Emile Henry cookware. Since 1850 five generations of the Henry family have been hand crafting this famous clay oven to tableware in a town called Marcigny.

Since it was first produced, the major benefits of cooking in oven to tableware has been its ability to allow gradual, even heat distribution through the food so the fibers soften slowly, without toughening. The unique materials and firing process insure that the glaze will not crack, even over many years of use. That is why Emile Henry cookware is guaranteed to be free of defects in the manufacturing process, and that it will withstand thermal shock.
