Saputo Biscotto Stones Margherita and Napoli - Fontana

$649.00
Description

Saputo Biscotto stones are what 90% of the pizzerias in Naples bake on. They're handmade by Italian artisans near the Gulf of Naples, from a refractory alluvial clay found only in that region. Fontana is the exclusive distributor for North America.

What makes them unique is how they bake a pizza at 900°F (480°C) for 60 to 90 seconds without burning the base. No other stone does that, and it's the difference between a pizza that looks Neapolitan and a real Neapolitan.

If you're after pure Neapolitan baking, this is the upgrade we recommend. Your Fontana oven comes with quality standard stones that do the job well for most cooks. Saputo Biscotto is for people ready to go a step further.

  • Refractory alluvial clay from the Gulf of Naples, with a unique mineral makeup
  • Handmade by Italian artisans in Naples
  • Fired in a wood oven, the traditional way
  • Exclusive North American distribution through Fontana Forni
  • Complete set: the number and size of stones matched to your oven model (see variants)

This set is built for the Margherita or Napoli: stones cut to the exact dimensions of your cooking chamber.

FAQ

What's the difference between a Saputo Biscotto stone and a cordierite stone?

Cordierite conducts heat 6 to 8 times faster than Biscotto. So at 850°F in 60 seconds, you burn the bottom before the top sets. We've seen it happen plenty of times. Biscotto's clay is porous, conducts less, and the crust bakes through without burning. That's the whole reason Naples runs on it. Not romance. Physics.

Do I need Saputo Biscotto stones to cook with my Fontana?

No. Your Fontana ships with quality standard stones, and they'll handle 90% of what you cook. Saputos are for when you're chasing pure Neapolitan. The kind that cooks in 60 seconds at 850°F with the leopard-spotted underside. If you're not sure where you sit on that, write to us. We've talked through this with a lot of people.

How do I install and prepare Saputo Biscotto stones for first use?

Swap the standard stones for the Saputos. Before your first cook, give them a tempering cycle: 30 minutes at 300°F. It lets the clay release whatever moisture is still in there. Then you're good. We do this every time we set up a new set, and it makes a difference.
