Lazzari Mesquite Gourmet Cooking Charcoal
Lazzari Fuel Company has been in the gourmet cooking charcoal business since 1908. The San Francisco company began importing mesquite charcoal from Mexico in the 1940's. Roy Lazzari, son of company founder Hugo Lazzari, is credited with the discovery of mesquite's exceptionally high and long-lasting heat. Almost overnight, mesquite became a favorite of Bay Area chefs who found the fuel perfect for searing meats and fish. As the gourmet grilling trend exploded in the late 80's and early 90's, the general public discovered Lazzari mesquite for home use. 100% natural mesquite lump charcoal is a near perfect renewable cooking fuel - other hardwood fuels available. $14.99 and up | Buy
