Olea — Chef & Sommelier

The Olea collection by Chef & Sommelier brings together a range of white porcelain tableware dedicated to coffee, tea and starter service. Understated, versatile and offered in several formats, it suits restaurant tables as well as home services looking for a neutral, durable white.

What makes the Olea collection distinctive

Olea plays the understatement of undecorated white porcelain, designed to match any table setting. The service covers tea/coffee cup, saucer, bowl, deep plate — a coherent set from breakfast to dessert service. Arc porcelain withstands professional dishwasher cycles and routine microwave use.

Choosing within the Olea collection

Which Olea cup format for which coffee?

The 12 cl cup is calibrated for espresso, ristretto and short coffees. The more generous 26 cl cup suits café crème, cappuccino, long tea and hot chocolate. For a mixed dining-room service, it is common to stock both sizes and adapt to the moment of service.

Which saucer for which cup?

The 16.5 cm saucer is designed to accompany the 26 cl cup, with a wide base that fits a teaspoon and a biscuit. The 14.5 cm saucer is rather meant for the 12 cl cup (espresso, short coffee), in a tighter format. Both coexist in a hospitality tableware inventory.

Is Olea porcelain dishwasher-safe?

Yes, Chef & Sommelier porcelain is designed to withstand the professional dishwasher, including intensive cycles. This wash resistance is a central argument behind the brand's choice in hospitality. For the microwave, check the product sheet piece by piece.

Is Olea suitable for home use?

Yes. Olea was designed for hospitality, but its understatement (neutral white, clean lines) makes it well-suited to home service, particularly for those looking for a durable undecorated white that does not date and is easy to complete over time.
