The handmade pottery from la Chamba, a village in Tolima, Colombia dates back more than 500 years to pre-Columbian times. Most of the population is dedicated to making clay pots for cooking and the craft has been handed down from generation to generation. The products are distinguished by their clean lines and black silky sheen, the result of lengthy hand burnishing. The cookware is microwave proof, can be in direct contact with heat sources (stoves and gas rings), and retains heat and flavor well.

Testimonial
“Colombia is a hidden gem. It has some of the world's most beautiful topography, colorful history and culture. But, some of its best gems are its artisans. For the past 15 years, KALALOU has tapped the natural resources of Colombia and what this great country's artisans have to offer. But we could not have made it happen without the hard work and dedication of ARTESANDINOS. Keeping track of the many suppliers we use and the thousands of products we have sampled over the years is a daunting task. But, this professional group has never missed a beat. We count on them to stay in touch with our suppliers and keep us abreast of the production of our orders. We consider them our team in Colombia and truly a part of the Kalalou family".
