This traditional dirt oven is more than just a baking tool; it’s a piece of Tobago’s rich heritage. Handcrafted with local clay and natural materials, these dome-shaped ovens were once the heart of many villages, used to bake everything from coconut bread to cassava pone and homemade buns.

In Charlotteville, this preserved oven stands as a reminder of the island’s culinary traditions and communal lifestyle. Families and neighbours would gather around it, sharing stories while waiting for their baked goods to rise to perfection, all fueled by firewood and island pride.
