KÖNIGOUTDOOR CHOOSES ALFA FORNI FOR SKY HOUSE DESIGN CENTRE SHOWROOM

Alfa Forni was chosen as the exclusive pizza oven supplier. The high-quality, Italian product aligns perfectly with the KönigOutdoor values. The premium brand is made in Italy and has continued to improve the design and innovation of the product since its birth in 1977.

Julia Tasker from Alfresco Concepts (UK distributor of Alfa Forni) gives some background into the brand, “Alfa is based in the ancient town of Anagni, off the road that joins Rome to Naples – the historic heartland of pizza – and all of its products are designed and made by Italian artisans. For more than 40 years, while also building models for commercial kitchens, this familyrun business has been perfecting its domestic pizza ovens. To make a Neapolitan pizza, the oven floor needs to impart heat quickly enough for the crust to be crisp, but not so quickly that it burns. The circulating air must be fiercely hot, allowing the toppings to cook in the short time available. Challenging enough in a restaurant oven; fiendishly hard to recreate for a domestic garden or terrace.”

Tasker continues, “By combining Italian tradition and craftsmanship with cutting-edge materials and engineering, Alfa’s engineers have solved this thermal puzzle. The ovens’ flattened half-dome shape, full-circulation flue system, ceramic fibre insulation and patented refractory brick base allow them to efficiently reach and maintain temperatures up to 500°C, meaning they can cook a pizza in just 90 seconds.”

Alfa co-founder Marcello Ortuso said, “In Italy, gathering friends and family around us to cook and eat outside is such an important part of our culture. We have seen how more and more people in Britain have begun to discover this pleasure. An Alfa oven can help them bring the real flavours of Italy to those gatherings.”
