Video: our story – an ancestral tradition

This video tells the story of tierra negra cookware in the making. Cooking in clay is one of the oldest techniques for making home meals. The process dates back, at least, to early Roman days and clay cookware is produced by many cultures all over the world. The origins of tierra negraTM cookware can be traced back to vases and pitchers found in pre-Colombian archaeological sites. To this day, it is still made in the same traditional manner mostly by the women in a few small villages in the Colombian Andes.
