The Raffaello pattern from the Ricci Argentieri Company of Alexandria, Italy, exhibits the same high level of design and craftsmanship seen in their sterling silver products, but with the beauty and durability of high carbon stainless steel. This particular alloy, 18/10, has a chromium and nickel mix that ensures the gleaming surface will keep its shine.
Weight of the ornate handles is reduced by a hollowed two piece construction. Every piece produced by the Argentieri factories and its craftsmen worldwide (this particular set was created in Vietnam) goes through a lengthy and thorough inspection process--not once but several times, and sometimes unscheduled.
Shape, form, weight, and exact conformity to design standards are confirmed by skilled inspectors before shipment, as is the perfection of polish (no blemishes or scratches are tolerated). Each piece is packaged with equal care. When Ricci Argentieri cutlery reaches your hands, it will still meet those high standards. If the company finds more than a few correctable faults in a production lot, the whole production run is destroyed.
Treat your Raffaelo serving set with care, cleaning it by hand soon after use and avoiding the use of acidic products. Stainless steel can be blemished by acidic food or dried residue, so a prompt hand washing with mild detergent solution and towel drying--not the dishwasher--is recommended.
