Valoriani, a great artisan, known all over the world.
The Valoriani family have been producing refractory products since 1890 and today remain world leaders as manufacturers of prefabricated woodfired ovens for professional and residential use.
During World War II, many of the communal ovens in Italian villages were destroyed. During reconstruction, Valoriani was on the front line to give strength to his country and his bricks proved necessary to build thousands of wood burning ovens, the basic instrument needed for the baking of bread in the home. This proved a turning point and the prefabricated wood burning oven was born. Silvio Valoriani, a specialist in refractory clay, by using all the century experience acquired from his family, the choice or raw materials and the structural design of the oven’s dome, perfect in all it’s proportions, to such a point that still nowadays the dome is unchanged. The result – family size wood burning ovens from cotto refractario (refractory clay) quarried from the hills of Tuscany. These newly designed ovens were far more fuel efficient and had great heat retention allowing individual families to afford their own ovens.
With commercial and economic growth and great demand for its products, commercial businesses needed ovens to be able to bake a high number of pizzas, quality and with uniform baking, able to keep a constant temperature with low wood consumption. To meet this demand Valoriani created a series of professional wood burning ovens, known as “VESUVIO”.
Valoriani is the only company to produce its factory, both dome and floor tiles baked at 1300°C. Many firms have tried to copy the VESUVIO ovens, which has been recognised as the Original Wood Burning Oven ever since. They still remain the original, the first product in its class and one of the best products worldwide, chosen and used by some of the most important restaurants and caterings.
The company today, after more than 50 years on the market, in it’s 5th generation and with over 300,000 ovens delivered, Valoriani ovens are still made in Refrattari Reggello, high in the hills of Tuscany.
