I would like to tell you about a manufacturer that I am totally in love with: Emile Henry. It is one of the most famous manufacturers of ceramic kitchen products in France and possibly in the whole world.
Emile Henry is a family-run company that produces cooking utensils using the excellent limestone soil found in southern Burgundy. This same soil, and the clay it produces, is what Jacques Henry used in the small ceramics workshop he founded in 1850 in Marcigny, where the company is still based.
My family has been selling products from this manufacturer in Spain for many years, even long before they had distribution in our country, so when we started with Claudia&Julia, they were one of the first suppliers we incorporated.
Some of the most appreciated products from Emile Henry are their baking dishes and moulds, their casseroles and their beautiful bread ovens. But this brand also makes some small utensils that I consider essential when it comes to equipping a kitchen. These small utensils combine great functionality with a very careful design and the manufacturing quality to which we are accustomed by the brand.
One of my favorite products is their ceramic salt shaker . It has a very comfortable design when using salt in the kitchen that invites us to cook non-stop as indicated by one of our customers' comments. Its interior is not glazed, which prevents the salt from solidifying, so we always have it perfect. It is one of those products that is worth trying, it is a basic that works excellently.
Another product that I love is the ceramic oil cruet with a cork stopper . It is a very pretty oil cruet with perfect measurements, neither too big nor too small. You can tell its quality just by holding it in your hand and it also has a cork stopper with a self-closing system that works wonderfully. The great advantage of this oil cruet over other alternatives, apart from its beautiful design, is that it keeps the oil away from light, so it keeps the oil in perfect condition for much longer.

An ideal accessory for the kitchen is the ceramic spoon rest . It has a very elegant and functional design that looks good in any kitchen. It may seem silly, but once you get used to using it, it becomes essential to keep the kitchen clean and tidy. It also includes a wooden spoon, which makes it an ideal gift for those of us who like cooking.
I don't want to end this post without mentioning the Emile Henry ceramic mortar . It's so pretty that it looks like a simple decorative object, but I assure you that it's sturdy and works like a charm. It's the ideal size to be able to chop while holding it comfortably and its interior is also rough to keep the food on the bottom when we're chopping. It's one of those utensils that looks great in the kitchen but always brings a smile to our faces when we use it again.
If you love the brand, you'll surely like to discover other utensils and accessories they offer, from their beautifull'épicerie airtight jars or the ramekins , to table accessories such as the salad bowl or the ceramic plates . And many other beautiful and practical accessories, which you can take a look at here .
