Mexican Jarro De Barro

Authentic Mexican Clay Pot

Jarro De Barro

This Jarro De Barro is a clay pot used for cooking authentic Mexican dishes. Beans are a daily Mexican food and they are always cooked in a Jarro. Never ever ever will you see beans in Mexico cooked on anything else.

Barro literally means “mud” but generally means “clay,” and olla means “pot.” Ollas are large, deep clay pots perfect for simmering beans, stews and soups. The clay heats evenly and is perfect for all-day cooking over a direct flame. The clay can be fragile and sensitive to quick temperature changes. Cooking in the clay pots imparts an earthy flavor to the dish.
