At Alva, sustainability is more than just a trend - it's part of our legacy.


Established in post-WWII Belgium, Alva was built on the principles of resourcefulness. Albert Vandaele pioneered the use of repurposed materials to craft high-quality cookware, establishing a tradition of sustainability and craftsmanship that still defines us. This commitment to quality and responsible practices continues to drive us as we aim to produce cookware that elevates your cooking experience while reducing our environmental footprint.

Since 1949, Alva's focus is towards PFAS-free ceramic coatings and frying pans with a natural coating, setting a new standard for eco-friendly cookware
