Biscotto di Sorrento® – premium pizza stone for Cozze 17 pizza oven
Original Italian biscotto from Sorrento – handcrafted by Forni Aversa
Experience traditional Neapolitan pizza craftsmanship with the premium Biscotto di Sorrento®, specially tailored for the Millarco Cozze 17 pizza oven.
This handcrafted pizza stone from the Italian Sorrento peninsula impresses with its special material composition, excellent thermal properties, and its ability to protect the pizza base from burning even at high baking temperatures.
The Biscotto di Sorrento is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to prepare authentic Pizza Napoletana with airy cornicione, perfectly baked base, and short baking times.
The special nature of the Biscotto di Sorrento®
🌋 Unique volcanic clay blend
The basis of the Biscotto di Sorrento is a special clay mixture from the Sorrento region, which is rich in volcanic minerals, silicon compounds and pumice.
This natural composition gives the stone its characteristic structure and clearly distinguishes it from conventional fireclay and cordierite stones.
🔥 Outstanding thermal properties
Thanks to its special porosity, the Biscotto di Sorrento offers crucial advantages when baking pizza:
-
Lower heat transfer: The stone releases the stored heat in a controlled manner to the pizza base, thereby reducing the risk of a burnt bottom.
-
High heat retention: Supports even heat distribution during the baking process.
-
Optimal moisture absorption: The porous surface can absorb moisture from the pizza dough and supports the development of a pleasantly baked pizza base.
-
Ideal for high temperatures: Particularly suitable for the high baking temperatures of Neapolitan pizza.
-
Even baking results: Enables a well-baked base while the rim can rise light and airy.
🍕 Perfect for real Neapolitan pizza
When preparing a traditional Pizza Napoletana, very high temperatures are required. Conventional pizza stones can transfer the heat to the dough too quickly, causing the base to burn before the pizza is fully baked.
Meanwhile, the Biscotto di Sorrento® by contrast, is characterized by its lower thermal conductivity. This allows the pizza to be baked at high temperatures without the base burning as quickly.
The result: a light, airy cornicione, a pleasantly baked underside, and an authentic Neapolitan pizza experience.
Traditional craftsmanship from Forni Aversa
Each Biscotto di Sorrento is produced in Italy using traditional artisanal methods by Forni Aversa manufactured.
Unlike industrially manufactured pizza stones, this is a genuine artisanal natural product.
Due to the manufacturing process, the following characteristics may occur:
-
Minor tolerances in dimensions and weight
-
Slight differences in color and surface texture
-
Natural pores and small indentations
-
Small chips on edges or corners
-
Superficial hairline cracks and irregularities
-
Slight unevenness on the underside
These characteristics are typical features of traditional manufacturing and, as long as function is not impaired, do not constitute a quality defect.
Important: A biscotto is not an industrially manufactured ceramic or tile surface, but a handmade, porous pizza stone with individual characteristics.

FAQs
Product & Usage
1. Which accessories are truly essential for perfect pizza in a gas or wood-fired oven?
Essential accessories include a high-quality pizza peel, a thermometer for precise temperature control, a pizza stone or rotating plate for even baking, and a brush for cleaning the baking surface. These tools make handling the oven easier and ensure optimal baking results.
2. Are the accessories compatible with my pizza oven (Ooni, Gozney, etc.)?
Most professional pizza oven accessories are compatible with different models, including both gas and wood-fired ovens. It’s important to check the dimensions of the oven and the baking surface to choose the right accessories.
3. Why should I choose professional accessories instead of cheaper alternatives?
Professional accessories are made from heat-resistant and durable materials, offer better performance and a longer service life. They improve baking quality, reduce errors, and ensure consistently perfect pizza results—both at home and in professional use.
Maintenance & Accessories
1. What maintenance do the tools require?
To keep your pizza oven tools in perfect condition, they should be cleaned after every use. Residual flour, dough, and ash can easily be removed with a brush or a slightly damp cloth once everything has cooled down. Metal tools such as peels, turners, or brushes should occasionally be treated with food-safe oil to prevent rust. Wooden handles must not be soaked or cleaned in the dishwasher. Regularly checking for wear ensures safety and a long service life.
2. Can spare parts or accessories be purchased separately?
Yes, many spare parts and accessories for pizza ovens can be purchased separately. These include, for example, replacement handles, brush heads, thermometers, or pizza stones. When buying, make sure the parts are compatible with your oven model and have the correct dimensions. This way, you can individually expand your setup or replace worn components.
3. Do you provide operating or user manuals?
Yes, for most accessories we provide user manuals or usage instructions. These are available digitally (PDF) or directly on the product page. The manuals help you use the tools correctly, handle them safely, and extend their service life.

The statutory warranty period is 24 months from the date of purchase. It covers defects that already existed at the time of purchase.
The guarantee is a voluntary service provided by the manufacturer and may vary in duration and scope.
2. How long is the warranty period for the products?
All products come with the statutory 24-month warranty. During the first 12 months, it is presumed that any defect already existed at the time of delivery, unless proven otherwise.
3. What does the warranty cover?
Depending on the manufacturer, the warranty covers material and workmanship defects. Damage caused by improper use, normal wear and tear, or incorrect care is generally excluded. The exact terms are described in the respective warranty documents.
