Original Biscotto di Sorrento – round Ø 40 cm × approx. 2 cm
Enjoy pizza just like from a traditional Neapolitan pizzeria: The genuine Biscotto di Sorrento is supplied by the Fornace Aversa made on the Sorrento Peninsula in Italy.
Fornace Aversa stands for traditional, artisanal production and manufactures the Biscotto using time-honoured methods from local clay. This gives the stone its characteristic porosity and particularly gentle heat release.
Thanks to these properties, the Biscotto is ideal for pizza ovens with very high temperatures. It absorbs some of the moisture from the pizza dough and releases the stored heat evenly and gently to the pizza base.
The result: an airy baked crust and an evenly browned base, without the pizza burning too quickly at high temperatures.
The special properties of the Biscotto di Sorrento
Original from the production of Fornace Aversa
The genuine Biscotto di Sorrento is produced by Fornace Aversa produced in Sant’Agnello on the Sorrento Peninsula.
Each stone is crafted according to traditional artisan methods. It is not an industrially pressed mass product, but an authentic Italian natural product with individual characteristics.
Traditional clay from the Sorrento region
The clay used comes from the region of the Sorrento Peninsula. The soil is rich in natural mineral components and volcanically influenced material.
This special composition gives the Biscotto its characteristic structure and high porosity.
Gentle and even heat distribution
Compared to classic fireclay stones or particularly dense pizza stones, the Biscotto transfers heat less aggressively to the pizza base.
This makes it ideal for baking Neapolitan pizza at very high temperatures. Even at temperatures above 400 °C, the risk of a burnt pizza base is significantly reduced.
High moisture absorption
The porous surface absorbs part of the moisture from the dough during baking. This supports an evenly baked, dry and pleasantly crisp pizza base.
Artisanal production
Each Biscotto is traditionally handmade and therefore truly unique.
Small deviations in diameter, thickness, colour and weight as well as irregular edges, pores, inclusions, superficial hairline cracks or slight chipping may occur due to the production process.
These characteristics are typical of a handcrafted natural product and have no negative impact on function or baking results.
Due to the manufacturing process, the underside may be rougher and more irregular. The smoother side is used as the baking surface facing upwards.

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.

2. How long is the warranty period for the products?
