Comal De Barro

Doña Victoria, the resident clay artisan for the Chatino indigenous community of Tiltepec, utilizes a centuries-old process to craft earthenware comals. She collects clay from the town’s surroundings. The clay is then soaked in water, made into a paste and packed into hand-made molds. After drying for two full days, she builds a fire over which she cooks each comal. The comales are then individually covered in ash to insulate them from the direct heat and then left to cook for two hours. At the end of the 3-4 day process, they’ve transformed into finished red clay comals.

Increíble trabajo. Maravilloso. Lo único es que me da un poco de preocupación comprar un comal de barro porque se me truena, pero aún así me encantan :)

[@Sonal-ThankyouGod]

Beautifully made.... 😊

[@azuredivina]

🥺 I got one recently, prepped it with cal, used it once, & accidently broke it in half later.

The only reason I don’t want a stone one. I’m clumsy!

[@azuredivina]

@@Masienda thanks for being darlings! i should have elaborated: it wasn't one i got from you guys, but from TJ. sorry for the confusion.

[@patrickbaker9040]

Will I receive a comal from Masienda that has black smudge markings on the edges, as depicted in the video ?

[@Masienda]

Hi there. The black smudge markings on the edges of our clay comals are a natural result of the firing process. They are not defects but rather authentic characteristics that add to the uniqueness of each comal. The beauty of each handmade comal is that they each have their own unique shapes and markings. If you have any concerns upon receiving it, feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist!

[@tflores1435]

Espero que Masienda les pague bien a estas personas… en Dólares 😏

[@Masienda]

¡Gracias por su commentario! Doña Victoria establece sus propios precios con nosotros desde que trabajamos juntos. Es una relación mutuamente beneficiosa que toma en cuenta el trabajo, tanto del equipo de Doña Victoria, como traerlas a los EU.

[@VicenteMendoza-d4u]
