Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Fondant range really hits the mark. It captures the current trend for soft, pastel tableware but doesn't forget that it needs to survive in a commercial kitchen. The reactive glaze gives it a rustic, artisan feel that you'd usually pay a lot more for, and the underlying build quality is absolutely solid. A very smart choice for any venue.

- Pros: The unique glaze gives each plate a lovely, bespoke, hand-finished feel.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Cheltenham was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its bright, modern interior and artisanal menu. They chose the Olympia Fondant plates in lemon to serve their signature cakes and desserts.
"These plates are just brilliant. They’re tough enough for a non-stop Saturday service, but the colour and unique finish make our cakes look even more appetising. Our customers constantly comment on how lovely they are."
Michael Davies – Head Baker
Since introducing the new plates, the bakery has noticed a significant increase in customer engagement online, with a 20% rise in tagged social media posts featuring their desserts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of transit damage.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
- Designate a stable, easily accessible shelf for storage to minimise knocks and bumps during service.
- Ensure your dishwasher's rinse aid and detergent levels are correct to prevent spotting and maintain the glaze.
Keeping It Going
- While fully dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals on the surface.
- To protect the beautiful reactive glaze, try not to scrape the plates with sharp metal utensils.
- Stack them carefully. If storing for long periods, placing felt dividers between plates can prevent surface scratches.
- Rely on the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty, but remember that careful handling is always the best long-term strategy!

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just a Pretty Plate: What 'Fully Vitrified' Really Means
You see 'fully vitrified' mentioned a lot with commercial crockery, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? In simple terms, vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature until the clay body becomes glassy and non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a plain digestive biscuit and one fully coated in chocolate. One soaks up your tea instantly, while the other creates a barrier. Vitrified porcelain acts like that chocolate coating, repelling water, food acids, and odours. This means it won't harbour bacteria, is far more resistant to stains, and is much, much stronger than standard ceramic. It’s this process that allows it to meet the tough BS4034 standard and makes it a true workhorse for any professional environment.
