The history of Italian cookware

Italians are known as the tastemakers of Old World cuisine, and they have passed that passion along to their production of Italian pots and pans. Many of the top Italian cookware brands were established in the late 1800s, the time when Italy was poised to become the center of classic gourmet food. Established in 1889, Zwilling has been an industry leader in merging the best in tradition with the latest technology in Italian cookware.

Supermarket Italy’s selection of Italian cookware brands

Be ready for any recipe with essential cooking tools for all types of dishes, from sweet to savory. Supermarket Italy's Italian cookware brands feature the iconic Zwilling label and their Ballerini collection, a range of aluminum nonstick fry pans, saucepans, and saute pans for the complete set. This top-rated Italian kitchenware is made from high-quality forged aluminum, which allows heat to be evenly distributed. It also has a non-stick coating, making it scratch-resistant, metal safe, and fork-proof. The THERMOPOINT technology also signals when the pan is ready for cooking or when it is cooled down enough to touch, preventing any unnecessary overheating or damage.

Our selection of Italian cookware also features the stainless steel cookware set from Zwilling, which includes 12 Italian pots and pans. This high-quality cookware set is made with a top-grade aluminum center, which allows heat to spread evenly for the best cooking outcomes. This Italian cookware set includes two fry pans, two saucepans, a saute pan, Dutch oven, steamer insert, and pasta insert. Every detail has been considered for your ease and convenience, including a flared rim design for easy cleanup and non-drip pouring. The tempered glass lids also allow you to monitor your cooking, and the materials are oven and dishwasher safe.

Our Italian cookware selection also includes a range of cast iron French ovens by Staub, a superior product known for its balanced heat distribution and other special functions. The lid is designed with a Chistera drop-structure, which reduces side moisture by ensuring constant condensation. On the interior, the matte black enamel has excellent caramelization and searing action. These cast iron pots are excellent for making rice, oatmeal, stews, and many other slow-cooked meals.

Staub’s cast iron collection also includes a mini fondue set with a flush-bottomed stand that works on all stovetops. The inside is made with a black matte enamel, which gives it exceptional browning capabilities. The top grade materials are also designed to be oven and dishwasher safe.

In addition to our selection of top Italian cookware brands, Supermarket Italy also features the best traditional cookware from Spain. Imported from Catalonia, the Rustic Terracotta collection is designed with a wide, flat shape and glazed enamel interior, which helps retain moisture and cooking liquids. The traditional low-fired clay material of Terracotta also distributes heat slowly and steadily, which allows food to cook evenly. Food also continues to cook when removed from the stove because of the pot’s ability to retain heat. These traditional cazuelas can be used as an oven casserole dish or as a replacement for a paella pan or skillet.
