Traditional Italian Quality Cooking

Italy has a long and rich tradition of culinary greatness. Italian style cuisine is a staple all across the western world with restaurants in nearly every city and town you can think of. The reason for this is simple, their food is delicious and simple to make. While most Italian dishes across the world stick to the key ingredients (tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, etc) the method of cooking has ventured far from the traditional route. Most Italian cuisine around the world is cooked in normal electric or gas ovens, but in Italy it is a tradition to cook things by wood fire. This is a time honored and tested method that produces delicious authentic flavors and aromas.

Due to the long history of using indirect wood fired ovens in the country, Italy has some of the best manufactured wood ovens that money can buy. They range anywhere from small ovens that can fit in nearly any space in your kitchen to large outdoor wood ovens that can cook multiple dishes and pizzas at a time. These ovens not only have great functionality but they are expertly designed to have an elegant look that can fit in with any home. Dolce Vita offers three lines of Forno wood burning ovens that are suitable for a wide variety of artisan cooking applications.

The cooking possibilities of a wood fired oven are nearly endless. These ovens are most famous for cooking pizzas at very high temperatures, but they can be used for many other purposes. Temperature can be controlled with dampeners and vents to suit any type of cooking need. You can lower the flame and temperature for slow roasted pork or lamb and then raise it later in order to fire roast some vegetables and put the perfect caramelized crust on a lasagna. There are simply no limitations to the amount and quality of Italian cuisine that you can get.
