In 1925, Le Creuset began producing its first enameled cast iron cookware in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, its birthplace. Building on this foundation, Le Creuset continued to manufacture professional enameled cast iron cookware.
Le Creuset cookware is all original French imports, originating from the small northern French town of Fresnoy-le-Grand. Le Creuset cookware is crafted from 100% cast iron and features a rust-resistant enamel layer, providing lasting heat retention and excellent sealing performance, delivering an unforgettable culinary experience.
In the process of making cookware, Le Creuset continues to use handcraft techniques as well as traditional forging and casting procedures. This focus on tradition is also a characteristic embedded in the design. The casserole or French oven marked with the company's volcanic rock (orange) emblem was the first cast iron item produced by Le Creuset and remains a consumer favorite among the range of bright, retro colors.
