This La Chamba black clay cocotte is handmade in Colombia. You can use the deep, oval pot like a Dutch oven or casserole dish. It has a domed lid and two handles for lifting and carrying.

Cocottes are ideal for long, slow cooking. You can start your dish on the hob and then transfer it to the oven. Use it to make a spicy chilli con carne or a warming winter stew.

With its sleek matte finish, this cocotte looks fantastic on your table. Lift the lid to delight dinner guests with the aroma of a curry or casserole. It’s great for warming up leftovers the following day.

The clay used to make these pots is naturally porous. It distributes heat evenly and retains moisture keeping food moist and tender. Food is also unlikely to burn or stick while it cooks.

About La Chamba

La Chamba is traditional black pottery from South America. It’s produced in Tolima using techniques passed down through generations. The clay used to make Chamba pottery is only found in this area of central Colombia.

The pots are dried outside, then fired in small ovens. Finally, they are smoked to give them a matte black finish. Today, La Chamba pottery has a mix of Spanish and indigenous influences. Crafted by hand, each pot is a unique addition to your cookware collection.

Suitable for the oven, stovetop, grill and microwave.
