La Nordica
Brief history of the La Nordica brand
La Nordica is an Italian company specializing in the production of high-quality heating appliances. Their products combine traditional Italian design with modern technology, providing efficiency and aesthetics for every home. Founded in 1967 in the province of Vicenza, Northern Italy by the Dal-Zotto family, the company has grown from a small family business into a modern enterprise with five facilities, covering an area of almost 70,000 square meters. It is a leader in the Italian market for wood heating appliances and has an excellent reputation in Europe due to constant innovation, attention to detail, and unique Italian design.
La Nordica manufactures ultra-modern, classic, and rustic-style wood burning stoves and pellet stoves, as well as wood burning fireplaces and pellet boilers / pellet furnaces. La Nordica products can also become complete yet compact domestic heating systems for heating radiators in your home. La Nordica products lead the industry and meet the strictest emission regulations. Additionally, all are marked with CE certification and certified according to international standards in more than 20 countries, demonstrating their high quality and reliability, even stricter than those in Italy.
La Nordica is a leader in wood heating appliances and takes pride in its excellent reputation for developing new solutions for today’s increasingly specific and demanding requirements. La Nordica’s extensive range, including classic, rustic, and modern product families, attention to detail, and consistently excellent quality, proves the validity of this reputation. La Nordica offers high-quality materials, precise finishing, and attention to detail—in short, the best aspects of Italian design—for clients worldwide.
From 1970 to 1980, La Nordica began introducing new materials and technologies in production, such as enameled cast iron and heat-resistant ceramics, as well as launching its first models of wood cooker stoves, which became a symbol of the brand.
From 1990 to 2000, the company began exporting its products to other European countries, including Germany, France, and Spain, and expanded its product range with wood burning fireplaces, pellet stoves, and boilers, which quickly gained popularity abroad.
In the following decade (2000–2010), La Nordica became a leader in developing energy-efficient and eco-friendly heating solutions, and its products began complying with strict European emission and efficiency standards (EN 13240, BImSchV certificates). These certifications were achieved thanks to continuous research and testing by a technical team using state-of-the-art equipment. Ongoing research and numerous tests ensure the absolute safety of La Nordica-Extraflame branded products.
In its modern stage, La Nordica continues to offer innovative products with a focus on sustainability. The company develops its lines of modern pellet stoves and wood burning fireplaces with automation and remote control features and successfully integrates contemporary design that fits both classic and modern interiors.
In 2024, the company expanded its range with new models, including ventilated wood burning stoves with an automatic combustion control system, such as the Larissa model, and introduced a new series of enameled cast iron cookware, Le Cucinotte, which combines traditional flavors with a modern lifestyle.

These wood burning stoves are eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and combine style with functionality. They feature high-quality materials like cast iron and ceramics, with some models offering additional decorative elements.
Cast iron wood burning stoves: La Nordica uses the best cast iron for its products. With a high thermal stress coefficient, cast iron maintains its shape, making it the ideal material for wood burning stoves—heat-resistant, durable, and perfect for prolonged heat emission into the room. Additionally, it is entirely recyclable and thus environmentally friendly. The products in the range are available either painted or with durable enamel finishes, requiring minimal maintenance. Examples of models:
- Isotta: Power: 11.9 kW, heating capacity: up to 338 m³. Features a large cast iron combustion chamber and a classic design.
- Isetta: Power: 7 kW, heating capacity: up to 200 m³. Compact and efficient, suitable for smaller spaces.
Steel wood burning stoves with ceramic lining: Combine the strength of steel with the aesthetics and heat retention of ceramics. La Nordica uses ceramics as a finish for its products, ensuring optimal heat storage and even heat distribution throughout the room. The ceramics result from a high-quality handcrafted process. Despite utilizing modern technology to ensure consistent quality, the lengthy production cycle of about 14 days for ceramics is entirely manual. As a result, every ceramic piece is beautiful, unique, and distinctive, with fine cracks, spots, and shading. Examples of models:
- Gaia: Power: 6 kW, heating capacity: up to 172 m³. Distinguished by its elegant design and high efficiency.
- Fulvia: Power: 6 kW, heating capacity: up to 171 m³. Ideal for medium-sized rooms, with a modern appearance.
