Olympia has really nailed it with these ramekins. The aqua colour is refreshing and modern, a lovely departure from standard white, without being overpowering. They feel substantial in the hand, and the vitrified finish gives you confidence they’ll stand up to a proper commercial environment. They're a simple, effective tool for any chef looking to add a bit of flair to their dessert service.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pros: The build quality is excellent, and the colour beautifully complements desserts.
- Cons: Their 100ml size is quite specific for desserts, less versatile for larger sides.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a popular seaside restaurant in Padstow, Cornwall, wanted to refresh their dessert presentation to match their vibrant coastal theme. Their standard white ramekins felt dated and didn't do justice to their creative puddings.
“The moment we switched to these aqua blue ramekin sets, our desserts just came to life. They look brilliant against the plate and our customers constantly comment on them. They’re tough as old boots, too; we haven’t had a single chip yet.”
Laura Jennings – Head Chef
The new presentation directly contributed to a 25% increase in desserts featured on customers' Instagram posts, boosting their online visibility.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give all ramekins a thorough wash with warm, soapy water before their first use.
- Carefully inspect each piece to ensure there's been no damage during transit.
- Find a dedicated, easy-to-access spot on your shelf for them.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent chipping, avoid knocking them against taps or other crockery when washing.
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure they are secure and not rattling against other items.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes, like taking a ramekin straight from the freezer into a hot oven.
- Use the stackable design to store them neatly and safely, preventing topples and breakages.

You'll see the term 'vitrified' on lots of professional crockery, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? Think of it like giving the porcelain a suit of armour. During manufacturing, the ramekin is fired at an extremely high temperature until it becomes glass-like and non-porous. This means it won't absorb moisture, flavours, or odours from food – so today's chocolate fondant won't taste faintly of yesterday's cheese soufflé. More importantly, this process makes the commercial porcelain ramekins 100ml incredibly strong and resistant to the thermal shock of going from a hot oven to a cooler surface, drastically reducing chips and cracks from daily wear and tear.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bistros & Gastropubs: The perfect size for serving signature starters like pâté or classic oven safe souffle cups.
- Dessert Parlours & Cafés: An ideal and stylish choice for individual cheesecakes, mousses, and hot fondant puddings.
- Boutique Hotels: Elevate your room service or breakfast offering with these colourful ramekins for jams or yoghurts.
- Event Caterers: Durable, stackable, and visually appealing for creating impressive buffet and dessert tables.
