Hand-woven fuscelle are containers used for the production of cheese and ricotta. They are made of natural rush material, and are woven manually to create a solid, resistant and flexible structure. The shape and size of the molds varies depending on the type of cheese or ricotta you want to produce. The base of the mold allows you to eliminate excess liquid from the cheese, thus improving the consistency and taste of the finished product.

In the years to come they acquired a particular exclusivity and charm that distinguishes the culture and tradition of southern Italy . Thanks to the scarcity and after the advent of some materials that have replaced their use, these unique pieces have become true ornamental design objects and are highly sought after by those who want to furnish and enrich the interior spaces of their home . Example: use in the bathroom as a cosmetic or towel holder or as a food basket for bread, fruit etc

The art of weaving , very widespread in southern Italy in Calabria, Sicily, Puglia, Basilicata and Sardinia, has its roots in very ancient times and in those small territories where people lived mainly from agriculture and pastoralism , baskets were created for every use such as dryers, brooms, chairs, baskets for collecting fruit or mushrooms and much more.
