Leccio Prime – The Essence of an Ancient Art

Everything begins in the woods, where the finest holm oak wood is carefully and respectfully selected to be transformed into Leccio Prime. It is here that the charcoal kiln takes shape—an imposing dome of wood, covered with straw and earth, becoming the living heart of a unique process.

It is not just charcoal. It is the result of an ancient ritual, guarded by the charcoal makers like a precious secret

The ignition takes place from above, with the burning tizzuni, and from that moment a slow and patient metamorphosis begins. For about fifteen days, the charcoal burners watch over the mound day and night: they observe the smoke, listen to the breath of the fire, and “feed” the embers with more wood. An ancient gesture, carried out with an almost religious devotion, as if it were a living being

The result is an extraordinary charcoal: compact, powerful, pure, capable of burning for a long time and releasing steady, intense heat. A charcoal that not only cooks, but enhances flavors and turns every barbecue into an authentic experience.

Leccio Prime is this: the synthesis of passion, sacrifice, and mastery — an almost vanished art that survives thanks to the love of the charcoal makers.
A charcoal that carries with it the fragrance of wood, the value of time, and the pride of those who create it.

That is why Leccio Prime is chosen by the finest chefs and restaurants who demand only the best: one of the purest and noblest charcoals in the world.
