How Revol Basalt Porcelain Dinnerware Works
The magic behind Revol Basalt lies in its exceptional culinary-grade porcelain composition. The collection undergoes an intense firing process at temperatures exceeding 1300°C, creating incredibly dense, non-porous pieces that resist chipping and maintain temperature longer than standard tableware. The distinctive black finish isn't just a surface treatment—it's integral to the clay itself, meaning it won't fade or scratch off even after thousands of commercial dishwasher cycles. With a semi-matte finish that elegantly absorbs and reflects light, these pieces create a dramatic backdrop that makes colourful ingredients stand out brilliantly, turning every plate into a canvas for culinary artistry.

Top Tips for Using Revol Basalt Porcelain Dinnerware
To maximise your Revol Basalt investment, rotate your stock regularly to ensure even wear across all pieces. Though incredibly durable, avoid stacking pieces too high during storage—3-4 plates maximum maintains their pristine condition longer. For striking food presentation, incorporate bright, vibrant ingredients that contrast against the black background. When planning your collection, we recommend starting with versatile pieces like coupe plates and bowls that work across multiple menu applications, then expanding with specialty items for signature dishes.
