Soapstone vessels, also known as kalchattis are carved out of soapstone, a naturally occurring soft stone. Soapstone has been used in India for thousands of years for carving and making vessels. This hand-crafted soapstone kitchenware is carefully hand-chiselled from a block of soapstone by traditional artisans of Tamil Nadu. This carving art is passed on from one generation to another. The soapstone vessel retains the natural flavour, original aroma, and taste of the food stored in it. You can now buy kalchatti online in India at affordable rates from Healthy Buddha.
