Details
Eko White is the unsmoked, gentler sibling of classic Eko clay. Harvested from Nigeria and naturally air-dried, these satisfyingly firm chunks offer a smooth, creamy crunch without grit or stickiness—unless you take a particularly ambitious bite. Each piece melts cleanly on the tongue, releasing a fresh, rain-kissed mineral flavour with light grassy tones and a delicate hint of petrichor. Subtle, clean, and calming, this variety is ideal for those who prefer a mellow, grounding clay experience without the smoky tang typical of its grey counterpart.

Storage Tips
To keep your clays and treats fresh, crunchy, and full of flavour, always store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and strong odours. Exposure to air or dampness can alter both texture and taste.
We highly recommend using our stash boxes, available on the website — designed specifically to protect and organise your clay collection with ease.

- clean, dry hands
Fragility Disclaimer
All clay treats and terracotta pot products are handmade and naturally fragile, making them susceptible to breakage during delivery.
While we take great care in packing each item securely, minor cracks, chips, or crumbled pieces may occur. This is a natural part of working with handcrafted clays and does not affect taste or enjoyment.
