Blanco Caceres is a white granite from Spain, valued for its compact structure and uniform appearance. The stone shows a pale white background with a light yellowish shade and a medium to coarse grain, giving surfaces a warm, natural brightness without pronounced veining. Thanks to its solidity and consistent colour, Blanco Caceres is widely used for flooring, façade cladding, kitchen countertops, stairs and exterior paving. It responds well to polished, honed, flamed and bush-hammered finishes, allowing both indoor and outdoor applications. Marmi di Carrara supplies this Spanish granite as blocks, slabs 2/3 cm and cut-to-size pieces, with photos of the actual slabs sent before purchase.

Blanco Cáceres Granite: complete guide
Overview
Blanco Cáceres is a light granite from Extremadura, white-grey with dark speckling. It is chosen for its brightness and its excellent performance outdoors.
History and origin
The name recalls Cáceres, a province of Extremadura known for its abundance of granite, which was also widely used in the area's historic architecture. Blanco Cáceres is used for paving, cladding and street furniture. It is available on the market as slabs, tiles and blocks. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Appearance
Black mica crystals and grey quartz grains are spread across a white-grey background. The grain is medium-fine and the overall appearance homogeneous, with modest differences in tone between slabs. Polished, it looks cooler and more contrasted; flamed, it takes on a warm, matt white.
Uses
Recommended for floors, stairs, façades, thresholds and pedestrian paving, as well as kitchen and bathroom worktops. Its light colour makes it suitable for sunny outdoor spaces. In the kitchen a protector helps prevent dark oil marks.
Care and maintenance
Neutral detergent and water for routine cleaning. A water- and oil-repellent is useful on worktops and outdoor floors. For encrustations outdoors, products specifically designed for granite can be used, avoiding repeated use of strong acids.
