Happy Earth Day from Emile Henry!

All Emile Henry products are made from all natural ingredients from the earth. The slip, or Burgundian clay mixture, is made from clay which has decomposed from rock within the earth’s crust for millions of years. The clay is removed from the hills of Marcigny and surrounding towns and combined with other natural raw materials like quartz and water to make the cookware, bakeware and dinnerware. The glazes are also made from natural ingredients, glass and metals. There are no chemical additives.

Emile Henry is made in France by a family owned and operated factory and each product is guaranteed safe for the life of the product. There is no interior coating that can peel off or leak out. Consumers don’t have to worry about products being recalled. Metal cookware and bakeware, on the other hand, is frequently coated with chemical nonstick coatings that could eventually peel or chip off.

Emile Henry products are made in an environmentally friendly factory where all packaging is recyclable and made from recycled materials. Pallets, paper bags and cartons are recycled through paper factories. After the useful life of a plaster mold is finished and any damaged or discarded pieces during the manufacturing processes are recycled through cement factories that then use the powdered plaster in their cement mixes. All water that is used for finishing and deglazing is recycled through the factory. None of the water leaves the various facilities. And the carbon oxide and gases that escape from the kilns are filtered so that no noxious or unhealthy gas escapes into the environment. According to Jacques Henry, President & Owner of Emile Henry, “It’s important to work hard to preserve nature and control our impact on the environment”.

Emile Henry celebrates Bastille Day which is France’s biggest national holiday that commemorates the beginning of the French Revolution with an homage to our favorite French bakeware – Emile Henry. Bastille Day is the French national holiday, celebrated on 14th of July each year. It commemorates the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789, an open act of rebellion against the monarchy that is considered a turning point of the French Revolution. Two days after the storming of the Bastille, the king officially recognized the tricolor flag–the blue, white and red said to symbolize liberty, equality and brotherhood. Use Emile Henry azure (blue), blanc (white), and cerise (red) dishes and bakeware for your celebration.  Mix and match to make the perfect red, white and blue combination!

The New Urban Collection from Emile Henry

New Castle, DE – February 2008 — The soothing colors of the French impressionist landscape paintings have inspired artists and designers for generations. These soft, natural tones are now the inspiration for a chic new collection of Emile Henry table and ovenware called the Urban Colors Collection . The thirteen new table and ovenware pieces, in Slate, Sand, Sky, and Figue incorporate some of Emile Henry’s existing styles along with smart, hip shapes.

The Urban Collection blends sophisticated designs with the soft and earthy color palette of the great impressionist painters. Sand is soothing, Slate is cool, Sky is gentle and Figue serene. The natural, eco-friendly clay and the gentle tones define this new French collection.

“The Urban Collection gives a modern French twist to dining and entertaining,” explains Tara Steffen, national sales manager for Emile Henry. “The understated elegance combined with the traditional Emile Henry manufacturing has created a beautiful collection which will surely become a modern classic.”

Like the traditional Emile Henry table and ovenware, the Urban Collection is made in the heartland of France, home to prized Burgundy wines, fine rustic French cooking and the excellent properties of clay that Emile Henry has been using for over a century and a half to make its famous cookware. Burgundy clay is known for its superb heat diffusion and retention – two characteristics that ensure culinary success. Emile Henry pottery transmits an even, steady heat, and retains it sufficiently to keep foods hot longer at the table. A dish can be prepared ahead of time, refrigerated or frozen, placed directly into a preheated oven or in the microwave, and served right at the table. Emile Henry products are not only strong enough to withstand the abrupt temperature changes of freezer-to-oven cooking, but are also beautiful enough to join the dinner party, now an urban dinner party.

Emile Henry, located in the Burgundy town of Marcigny, is presently run by Jacques Henry, a fifth-generation descendant of the founder. A team of potters makes each piece by hand, maintaining the traditional high quality that French cooks have come to trust in Emile Henry poterie culinaire. The Urban Collection ranges in retail price from $7 to $60. For more information, call 302-326-4800.
