Earth Ovens are based on a vernacular tradition proven over hundreds of years and which is still found in many parts of the world such as the Mediterranean, the Middle East and Central America. In Mexico the building material is called ‘adobe’; in the UK in Devon it is termed ‘cob’ and was traditionally used to build houses, barns and walling. In North Africa, spectacular and ornate mosques, houses and compounds have long been built using earth as the basic material. Earth Ovens are made using sustainable, eco-friendly and easily obtainable materials.
