Il Faggetto

produced by S.I.T.T.A. S.r.l.

SITTA briquettes are a practical, ecological and advantageous solution for state-of-the-art cooking, with hygiene and quality guaranteed by rigorous and constant chemical and bacteriological analyses. Their high calorific value allows you to quickly reach the ideal temperature and maintain it for a long time.

The humidity lower than 8%, allows to reach the perfect temperature in less time, its being ECOLOGICAL allows us to reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere and the soot from the chimney. The octagonal solution ensures handling and stability by avoiding rolling in the stalls, for the same weight and size it far exceeds the best traditional wood in terms of yield, thus making it very convenient. Its high radiant power is ideal for cooking in refractory ovens because it allows cooking not only by conduction and induction, but also by radiation. It yields much more than traditional wood because it is pure essence of virgin beech wood thus allowing a constant temperature. Tested and certified by chemical and bacteriological analyzes for cooking food. Storage then becomes simplified as each package / box weighing 18 kg contains 8 briquettes allowing ease of storage, order and cleaning under the oven.

But what are the concrete advantages ?

The “ultra-compact briquette” beech is a type of solid fuel, usually used for heating and cooking, which has a compact and regular shape. This type of briquette is produced using specific machinery that allows the material to be compressed (such as sawdust) until a product with a high calorific value and a uniform and easily stackable shape is obtained. The ultra-compactness of the il Faggetto briquette guarantees an excellent yield in terms of energy efficiency, facilitates the storage and transport of the material, reduces the waste of space and guarantees uniform combustion. Furthermore, the processing of the ultra-compact briquette allows to reduce waste and to use waste materials, favoring a sustainable and ecological approach to waste management.

the stabilization of humidity below 8%, represents a fundamental characteristic of Faggetto, which makes it different from traditional wood which usually has a much higher humidity rate, around 23%. Thanks to this peculiarity, the beech guarantees optimal and constant cooking, without the risk of sudden changes in temperature or excessive smoke development. Furthermore, the high calorific value of the beech allows you to reach the ideal temperature quickly and keep it constant for the entire duration of cooking, thus allowing you to obtain perfectly cooked and crunchy pizzas and other foods.

Hygiene is essential to ensure maximum safety in the preparation of pizzas. Thanks to our drying chain, il Faggetto briquettes are free of bark and all the debris that can compromise the cleanliness of the working environment and the safety of the placer’s hands. This means that you will be able to prepare your pizzas in a hygienic and clean environment, without having to worry about dirt, moss or other debris that could be present in traditional wood. Furthermore, the bacteriological analyzes conducted on our briquettes guarantee maximum safety in cooking food. Choosing il Faggetto briquettes means making a responsible and ecological choice, without having to give up quality and hygiene in the preparation of your pizzas.

Not only is our beech wood briquette a great choice for the kitchen, it’s also an eco-friendly choice that helps reduce waste and help the environment. In fact, our beech wood is produced using beech wood processing waste, which would otherwise be destined to become waste. These scraps are divided into various particle sizes to make them compact and transformed into ultra-compact briquettes with a controlled humidity of less than 8%. Our closed-loop production process allows us to recover this precious waste to create a product that not only cooks excellent pizzas, but also helps protect our environment. With our beechwood briquette, you can enjoy your favorite pizzas knowing you’re making the right choice for your kitchen and for our planet.

Our beech briquette, the faggetto, is the ideal solution for those who want to save on energy consumption without sacrificing cooking quality. Thanks to its high calorific value and its density, the beech allows to reach the ideal temperature in a short time and to keep it constant throughout the cooking time, with a consumption of only 2-4 kg per hour. With traditional wood, on the other hand, an average of 8-10 kg is consumed per hour, with a significant impact on the environment and on the wallet. Choosing beech therefore means making a concrete gesture for the environment, while saving on energy costs.

Thanks to this peculiarity, the beech guarantees optimal and constant cooking, without the risk of sudden changes in temperature or excessive smoke development. Furthermore, the high calorific value of the beech allows you to reach the ideal temperature quickly and keep it constant for the entire duration of cooking, thus allowing you to obtain perfectly cooked and crunchy pizzas and other foods.

Our beech is designed to make your life easier in every aspect, even in conservation. Thanks to the 18 kg packs, storage becomes extremely easy and efficient. In fact, each pack contains 8 beech briquettes, perfectly compact and stackable, taking up less space than traditional wood. In this way, you can avoid having wood lying around for your oven or pizzeria, keeping everything clean and tidy. Furthermore, thanks to its high calorific value and greater efficiency, the beech allows you to always have the right amount of fuel at hand for your cooking, without having to waste time and effort preparing wood.

The beech is the certification by Biomassplus and the bacteriological analyzes in the laboratory. This certification guarantees that our product meets high standards of quality and food safety.

Biomassplus is an independent organization that evaluates and certifies the sustainability and traceability of the biomass used for the production of energy and other wood-based products. Biomassplus certification guarantees that our product has been produced using raw materials from responsibly managed forests and that its production has complied with strict environmental standards.

Furthermore, the bacteriological tests in the laboratory guarantee you that our product is safe for cooking food and does not contain pathogens or contaminants. This means that our customers can be sure that they are eating a pizza cooked in a safe and healthy way with beechnut.

We are proud to be certified to guarantee our customers a product of the highest quality and food safety.
