We offer several types of pizza oven wood, including:

1. Olive Wood

Olive wood is one of the finest and most popular types of wood used in pizza ovens. It is widely used in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions due to the abundance of olive trees, which makes it relatively affordable. It is preferred for the following reasons:

• **Flavor:** When burned, olive wood produces a rich, distinctive aroma and imparts a warm, smoky flavor with a hint of natural bitterness from the olive oil itself, adding an elegant and refined taste to the pizza.
• **Heat and Burn Duration:** Olive wood is dense and burns slowly, providing steady, consistent heat that maintains high temperatures for extended periods—ideal for baking pizzas at over 400°C.
• **Eco-Friendly:** Environmentally, olive wood is considered eco-friendly as it emits very low amounts of carbon dioxide and minimal smoke with a pleasant aroma, making it one of the most sustainable firewood choices.

2- Orange Wood:

Orange wood is another excellent and popular choice in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. Its aromatic properties and distinct flavor make it ideal for pizza ovens.

• **Aroma:** Orange wood is known for its citrus fragrance, which adds a delicious, powerful, and luxurious aroma to the pizza, enhancing its overall flavor and quality.
• **Burning:** Orange wood burns slowly and steadily, providing long-lasting heat that allows chefs to maintain even cooking temperatures throughout the baking process.
• **Clean Burning:** This type of wood produces minimal ash, keeping the oven clean for longer periods, which is preferred by chefs to avoid frequent cleaning.

3. Casuarina Wood

Casuarina wood is known for its hardness, durability, and long burning time. It produces high, balanced heat, making it a popular choice across the Arab world and North Africa where Casuarina trees are widely available, making it a practical option for pizza and cooking ovens.

• **High Heat:** Casuarina wood provides strong, consistent heat over a long burn time, reducing wood consumption while ensuring excellent cooking performance.
• **Long Lifespan:** Due to its density, this type of firewood lasts longer in the oven, offering sustained energy output—perfect for professional chefs.
• **Flavor:** While Casuarina may not add as strong a flavor as olive or orange wood, it ensures steady heat for evenly baked pizzas.

4. Other Types of Firewood

In addition to the above, there are several other high-quality wood types used for pizza ovens, including:

• **Oak Wood:** A top choice for traditional Italian pizza baking. However, in Arab regions, it’s mostly found in limited areas such as Lebanon, Syria, and northern Jordan.
• **Vine Wood (Grape Wood):** Commonly used in regions where grapevines are abundant, such as Egypt and across the Middle East. It adds a subtle, refined aroma to pizzas.
• **Almond Wood:** Used in pizza ovens in the Levant and North African countries like Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. Its natural oils produce a pleasant aroma when burned, giving pizzas a unique and premium flavor.

5. The Importance of Choosing the Right Firewood

Choosing the right type of wood for pizza ovens depends primarily on the desired flavor and the required heat level, as each type of wood produces a different intensity and aroma. Selecting the appropriate firewood ensures the perfect baking temperature and taste based on the chef’s needs.

All these types are suitable for pizza ovens.
