These cheerful yellow cazuelas are a favorite dish in our home, perfect for serving simple tapas or cooking a Spanish classic like gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). Made of rustic terra cotta, these cazuelas bring a burst of color to your table.
Traditional across Spain, these rustic dishes are a mainstay of home kitchens and restaurants alike. Not only are they perfect for Spanish favorites like olives or albondigas, we often use them for side dishes at dinner or as snack bowls.
Our cazuelas are made from terra cotta with small handles added by hand - they call them “orejas” (ears) in Spain. All glazes are food safe and lead free.
These traditional dishes are made in the town of Breda in Catalunya, a center for ceramics since Roman times. The local clay is the perfect consistency for making sturdy terra cotta that holds heat, great for keeping meals warm even after the dish is served on the dining table.
Note: Always heat or cool cazuelas very slowly or they will break. Never add a cazuela to a high-heat oven or burner and do not move hot cazuelas to a refrigerator or submerge in water as this can cause cracks or breakage. Wash by hand.
