Wood Fuel For Restaurants and Pizzerias

〝My little restaurant has built a great reputation. I use il Faggetto to fire my Pizza because it gives great taste and it's economical to use. Not only that, it's safe for my customers because it's HACCP compliant.〞

(Jack, Belfast)

il Faggetto

il Faggetto is the ultimate wood fuel for pizza ovens. Designed from the ground up as the perfect food-grade wood fuel for wood-fired ovens. This ultra-compressed wood briquette is made from 100% dry beech, with no additional binders or additives, and manufactured using the latest briquetting technology.

il Faggetto marries together the best of tradition with modern science and technology. The briquettes are chemically and bacteriologically certified for the cooking of food.

Because of the low moisture content and nature of the briquette, they burn hot, long, and consistent each time.  They can be used whole or broken into pieces making them suitable for small and large ovens, making them very economical.

The Firelighter

Our firelighters are made of 100% sustainable wood and natural wax. The firelighter is specially manufactured for use with cooking.

Many similar-looking firelighters use waxes derived from fossil fuels - ours do not.  These are ideal for starting a fire in a food environment.  We supply in a large catering pack suitable for commercial use.

Low carbon cooking

Cooking with wood is not only following a tradition going back centuries, but wood is a low carbon, sustainable and renewable resource. Significant CO₂ reductions are possible against other fossil-fuel derived heating such as gas and most electricity.

HACCP compliance - what's that about?

In designing our range of fuels for cooking, we started with the basic rules of health and hygiene. In 2004 these were detailed in law.
