Ecogres®: sustainability you can taste

Costa Nova has its own signature when it comes to ceramics: the Ecogres® material. This is not standard earthenware - it is made from recycled clay, which means production uses significantly fewer resources than traditional ceramics. And the result? A plate that is heat resistant up to 250°C, resistant to the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher, and simply lasts for years.

That is what Cookinglife believes in: quality that proves itself in practice. Not just once a year, but every ordinary Tuesday when you serve pasta or every Sunday afternoon when you gather the whole family at the table.

The ocean at your table - that Aqua color is no coincidence

Costa Nova was born on the Portuguese coast, and you can see that reflected in every design. The Aqua color of the Arenito collection is a direct nod to the Atlantic Ocean: matte, calm, and yet intensely present. On the table, that soft green-blue shade creates an atmosphere that you can’t find anywhere else.

Combine the Aqua plates with linen napkins in sand or ecru color, a rustic wooden salad bowl, and candles on the table - and you have a setting that feels like a Portuguese coastal restaurant. Or just like home for you, because that is actually the best serving moment there is.

The matte finish has another advantage: dirt and stains are less noticeable than with glossy porcelain, and the plate feels warmer in your hand - literally and figuratively.

From oven to table in one move

You know it: a casserole that is ready but has to wait ten minutes because you first have to transfer it. Forget that. The Arenito Aqua dinner plates are oven safe up to 250°C, allowing you to prepare dishes on them, heat them up, and serve them directly. Less washing up, more flavor, more moments.

And for the rest of the week: fill the plate with a tasty salad, a gratin pasta, or a hearty stew - with a diameter of 28 cm, there is plenty of room for a generous plate of food. Not some tiny table plate where the sauce always runs over the edge.

Heat resistant, frost resistant, dishwasher safe - this plate won’t be easily defeated. Just like you in the kitchen.

Good to know

Handmade earthenware naturally has small variations in color and shape. With the Arenito Aqua plates, that is not a flaw - that is exactly why they are so special. No plate is identical to another, making your table unique.

The plates also combine excellently with other products from the Arenito collection by Costa Nova, such as the matching bowls, dishes, and mugs. This way, you can gradually build a table set that is truly yours.

💡 Cookinglife Tip: Serve a classic Portuguese bacalhau or a simple grilled fish on the Aqua plates and feel how the ocean tint completes the flavor experience. Add a slice of lemon and some fresh parsley as a garnish - and you don’t need to explain anything to your guests. They’ll understand immediately.
