Details
Elephant Clay is a classic Indian raw clay celebrated for its bold, cementy flavour and hearty bite. Supplied in large, varied chunks that resemble pale elephant skin, this clay offers a dry, medium crunch that breaks down into a smooth, paste-like texture when chewed. The pieces are firm but approachable, sometimes sticking slightly, yet always clean and grit-free.
The taste is unmistakably cementy and dusty, with layers of fresh water tones, faint metallic hints, and a damp basement aroma when wet. It’s earthy, bold, and satisfyingly mineral — a favourite for those who enjoy strong raw clay notes without creaminess. Elephant Clay pairs especially well with Mexican clay pots, creating a rich and complementary geophagy experience.

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.

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.
To help, every order includes a wooden spoon — ideal for enjoying broken pieces or powder just as deliciously as the whole form.
