Artisanal production refers to the creation of goods using traditional methods and craftsmanship, often emphasizing quality over quantity. This approach typically involves skilled artisans who use their hands and simple tools to produce unique items, such as handmade pottery, craft beer, or artisan bread. The focus is on the process and the materials, often resulting in products that reflect local culture and heritage.
Artisanal goods are usually made in small batches, allowing for greater attention to detail and customization. This production method often supports local economies and promotes sustainable practices, as artisans may source materials from nearby suppliers and prioritize environmentally friendly techniques.
