The Cavolo range from Olympia really hits the mark. It taps into the popular rustic, earthy aesthetic that so many restaurants are aiming for, but it does so without compromising on the toughness that professional catering demands.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The finish is the standout; it provides a high-end, bespoke look on every plate.
  • Con: Being 180mm, they're best for starters or sides, not versatile enough for main courses.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salted Pig, a popular charcuterie bar in York, was looking to move away from plain white tableware to something that better reflected their rustic, high-quality offering. They needed plates that were as tough as they were attractive.

"These Olympia Cavolo plates immediately enhanced how our food looks. The unique speckle on each one makes our sharing boards and  starters feel more special and  curated. They've been through hundreds of wash cycles and  still look impeccable. Our regulars have even commented on how lovely they are."

David Chen – Proprietor

The investment led to a significant increase in social media shares of their food, helping to boost their online visibility and  attract new customers.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unbox and  inspect each plate.
  • Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • If serving hot food, you can gently warm the plates in an oven, but avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a freezer to a hot oven).

Keeping It Going

  • These plates are dishwasher safe. Use a non-abrasive detergent to maintain the quality of the glaze.
  • When stacking, do so carefully to avoid unnecessary impact. The rolled edges provide great protection.
  • Regularly check for any damage. Remember, the rims are covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty, giving you confidence in their longevity.
  • The fully vitrified body means they won't absorb flavours or odours, keeping them fresh for every service.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Tableware

Not sure what plates fit your vision? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the perfect commercial tableware 180mm and  beyond.

1. Material Matters

Porcelain, like that used in the Olympia Cavolo plates, is fired at high temperatures, making it non-porous and  incredibly durable. It's a fantastic all-rounder for busy restaurants.

2. Size and  Shape

Consider your menu. A 180mm (7") plate is perfect for starters, desserts, or small plates. For main courses, you'll want to look at larger sizes, typically from 250mm upwards.

3. Look for Durability

Features like rolled edges, vitrified bodies, and  edge-chip warranties are not just jargon; they are indicators of a product built to withstand a professional kitchen environment.

4. Match Your Aesthetic

Your tableware is part of your brand. A rustic speckle finish suits a relaxed, artisanal vibe, whereas plain white might be better for classic fine dining. Choose a style that complements your food and  decor.

5. Think Practicality

Is it stackable? Can it go in the dishwasher, microwave, and  oven? These practical features will save your team time, space, and  hassle every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the speckle pattern exactly the same on every plate?

A: No, and  that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze process ensures each plate has a unique pattern, giving them a handcrafted feel.

Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean for a plate?

A: It means the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous. This prevents it from absorbing water, odours, or flavours and  makes it much stronger and  more hygienic.

Q: How big is a 180mm plate in practice?

A: It's approximately 7 inches in diameter, making it the perfect size for a side plate, a starter, a piece of cake, or a dessert.

Q: Can I use sharp, serrated knives on these plates?

A: Yes, the glaze is very hardwearing and  designed to resist scratches from everyday cutlery use in a commercial setting.

Q: Will the colour or pattern fade after many dishwasher cycles?

A: No, the design is sealed under the glaze and  is permanent. It's made to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashing.

Q: Are they heavy to carry in a stack?

A: They have a reassuring, quality weight to them but are not excessively heavy. They are designed for easy handling by waiting staff.

Q: What is covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty?

A: It is a guarantee from Olympia that protects against chipping on the rolled edge or rim of the plate during normal food service use.

Q: Are these plates suitable for serving very hot, fresh-from-the-oven food?

A: Absolutely. They are oven-safe, so you can confidently plate hot items or even finish dishes on them under a grill.

How a 'Reactive Glaze' Creates a Unique Look

Ever wondered how these plates get their unique, speckled charm? It's all down to a clever process called a 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform coating, a reactive glaze contains special elements that transform and  create distinct patterns when fired at high temperatures in the kiln. No two reactions are ever precisely the same.

Think of it like baking a sourdough loaf – you can use the same ingredients and  method, but each loaf will have its own unique crust and  pattern. This process gives you the beautiful, one-of-a-kind character of expensive, hand-thrown artisan pottery, but with the consistent strength and  durability of commercial-grade vitrified porcelain. It's the best of both worlds: authentic style that's built to last.
