Originally founded by Jacques Henry of Burgundy, the company was passed down through generations of family members and is now owned by the fifth generation Jacques Henry, who took over in 1983. Their main factory is still headquartered in Burgundy, and their products are still made with Burgundy clay. They say it has "superior heat retention" thanks to a combination of "mineral-rich limestone soils" and their proprietary manufacturing process, which involves a very hard scratch-resistant glaze. Emile Henry makes casserole dishes, pie dishes, tagines, ramekins, and stew pots that go from freezer to oven to table.
