Frequently Asked Questions

Why are olive wood kitchen utensils more expensive than other wood products?

Olive wood is considered one of the highest quality and rarest types of wood worldwide. It grows very slowly, is only available in limited quantities, and has an exceptionally dense structure.

Our olive wood kitchen utensils, such as cutting boards, Bowls, and kitchen helpers, are made from solid wood and carefully handcrafted. The unique grain and elaborate processing make each piece a durable one-of-a-kind.

Where does the olive wood come from and where are the kitchen utensils made?

The olive wood for our kitchen utensils comes exclusively from the Sfax region in Tunisia, known for one of the best olive wood qualities worldwide. All items are handcrafted from solid olive wood there. Through local production, we can ensure sustainable sourcing and short transport routes.

Are olive wood kitchen utensils food safe?

Yes, all our olive wood kitchen utensils are 100% food safe. They are only finely sanded and treated with natural cooking oil – without any varnishes or chemical additives. This way, you can use them safely for all foods.

Are your kitchen utensils made of solid olive wood or glued?

Our cutting boards, Bowls and kitchen helpers are always made from a single piece of solid olive wood. No glue layers or joints are used.

An exception is the utensil box: It is glued from several pieces of olive wood to ensure shape stability and sufficient volume. Here too, we use only solid olive wood - no plywood or foreign materials.

Are olive wood kitchen utensils sustainable?

Yes, olive wood is a particularly sustainable material. The trees are only felled when they no longer bear fruit. The wood is fully utilized, so no resources are wasted.

By choosing olive wood, you consciously opt for durability, short transport routes, and resource-saving processing.

Are olive wood cutting boards and kitchen helpers heat resistant?

Olive wood is excellently suited for use in the kitchen due to its high density and hardness. It can withstand contact with hot foods without warping or cracking. However, direct contact with hot stovetops or ovens should be avoided.

Can olive wood kitchen utensils splinter or crack?

Olive wood is extremely robust and durable. With proper care, the risk of cracks or splinters is very low. It is important not to soak the kitchen utensils in water for extended periods and to regularly maintain them with a bit of oil. This keeps them supple and stable.

Does the color of olive wood change over time?

Olive wood naturally has a warm, honey-yellow tone. Through contact with light, air, and food, the wood may darken slightly over time. This is a natural process and highlights the individual character of each surface. Regular oiling brings out the grain beautifully.

How should I care for my olive wood kitchen utensils?

To keep your olive wood looking beautiful for a long time:

  • Always clean by hand with warm water and mild detergent
  • Thoroughly dry after washing
  • Regularly rub with some cooking oil to maintain the wood
  • Never clean in the dishwasher - heat and moisture damage the wood

To the detailed care instructions

  • Wooden cutting boards – Stable, high-quality, and versatile

    A wooden cutting board is much more than just a cutting surface. It belongs in every well-equipped kitchen and offers you a durable, solid workspace for many tasks. Whether you are preparing bread, vegetables, or meat – a high-quality wooden cutting board ensures clean work and at the same time protects your knives. Many of our customers prefer thick, rustic wooden cutting boards because they are particularly stable and do not slip while cutting.

    Visually, wood also has its own unique charm. Its warm appearance creates coziness and a natural look. If you value quality, you will find wooden cutting boards in various designs with us – from simple to high-quality crafted. Massive variants, made from a single piece, are particularly popular. Thanks to the smooth surface, the boards are easy to clean and, with proper care, last for many years. If you are looking for a larger model, our large olive wood cutting boards offer you plenty of space to prepare ingredients comfortably.

  • Wooden kitchen boards for daily use

    Wooden kitchen boards are indispensable in every kitchen. They protect your countertop and create a pleasant cutting surface for all foods. A wooden kitchen board scores with a natural look and a warm feel that you immediately notice while working. Especially olive wood, with its distinctive grain, ensures that each board is unique.

    In addition to cutting, you can wonderfully use wooden kitchen boards for serving. Cheese, fruit, or small snacks look particularly good on a beautiful wooden board. Many customers also use compact kitchen boards as breakfast boards, such as our olive wood breakfast boards. These small models are perfect for snacks or quickly preparing fruits and vegetables. The smooth surface makes it easy to wipe away crumbs, and thanks to the hardness of the wood, the board stays in shape for a long time. If you are looking for a durable and versatile kitchen board, olive wood is an excellent choice.

  • Solid wood cutting boards – Quality from a single piece

    Solid wood cutting boards are considered the top class among kitchen boards. They are often made from a single piece, providing maximum stability. A solid wood board does not warp easily, is extremely durable, and withstands heavy use. Especially in the daily kitchen, thick solid wood cutting boards are a real upgrade.

    Olive wood is excellent for solid boards because it is extremely hard and naturally absorbs little moisture. The wood remains stable, the surface smooth and pleasant when cutting. Many of our customers choose our rectangular olive wood cutting boards, which are ideal as a work surface and stand out with their elegant grain. You can use solid wood cutting boards not only as a cutting surface – they also make a good impression for arranging and serving. With the right care, your solid wood board will remain a loyal companion in the kitchen for decades.

  • Wood or plastic - which is the better cutting board?

    Many people wonder whether a cutting board made of wood or plastic is the better choice in the long run. Plastic boards seem straightforward at first glance because they are often dishwasher safe and require little maintenance. However, they also have significant disadvantages: Plastic surfaces are more prone to deep cuts where bacteria and odors can settle. This can be particularly problematic with raw meat. Additionally, plastic boards quickly become unsightly and lose their smooth surface.

    Wooden cutting boards - especially those made from olive wood - are significantly more durable and hygienic than many assume. The dense wood is naturally antibacterial and inhibits the growth of germs. At the same time, the surface remains smooth even with frequent use and hardly absorbs odors. Another advantage: Wood preserves the blades of your knives, ensuring they stay sharp longer. So if you value sustainability, quality, and beautiful aesthetics, a cutting board made from olive wood is the better choice. It combines functionality with a high-quality, timeless look that is a real eye-catcher in any kitchen.

  • Antibacterial and hygienic properties

    A major advantage of wooden cutting boards is their natural antibacterial effect. Olive wood, in particular, contains substances that inhibit the growth of bacteria and ensure more hygiene when cooking. Compared to plastic, wood absorbs fewer odors and can be cleaned by simply wiping it down. After preparing raw meat or fish, warm water with a little mild detergent is completely sufficient.

    Many chefs swear by cutting boards made from untreated natural wood. These boards remain hygienic if you regularly maintain and dry them. Another advantage: The blade of your knife stays sharp longer because the wood fibers give slightly. If you're looking for an especially hygienic model, we recommend a cutting board made from solid olive wood. This material combines robustness, antibacterial properties, and a noble appearance, making it a highlight in any kitchen.

  • Use cutting boards as serving, cheese, and carving boards

    A wooden cutting board is not only a practical tool but also a stylish serving board. On an elegant wooden platter, you can arrange cheese, cold cuts, or fresh bread particularly beautifully. Olive wood, with its distinctive grain, especially draws attention and makes every table a bit more special.

    A stable wooden board is also indispensable when carving large pieces of meat. The surface remains gentle on your knives and ensures clean cuts. Many of our customers use olive wood Cutting boards with handle as a stylish carving board and our oval cutting boards made of olive wood as a serving platter. For smaller snacks or tapas, compact boards are suitable, which you can also place directly on the table. This way, you bring a Mediterranean feeling into your everyday life and make every meal a small celebration.

  • Variants and shapes for every taste

    Every kitchen project is different – that's why you'll find a large selection of shapes and sizes with us. An olive wood cutting board in heart shape is, for example, a beautiful gift for weddings or housewarmings. Those who need a lot of space should choose our large cutting boards, to prepare larger foods comfortably. For smaller kitchens, compact models are ideal, such as our small cutting boards made of olive wood.

    Particularly practical are Boards with juice groove. The surrounding groove reliably catches liquid when you cut meat or juicy vegetables. The choice of shape also plays a role: oval and rectangular boards offer you different advantages when serving and preparing. This way, you'll surely find the right model that is not only functional but also matches your personal style.

  • The right care for your olive wood cutting board

    To keep your olive wood cutting board beautiful for a long time, proper care is important. After use, it's best to rinse it with warm water and dry it thoroughly. Please avoid the dishwasher - it can make the wood brittle and cause cracks. For further care, you should regularly rub the board with a little cooking oil.

    This simple ritual protects the surface from drying out and refreshes the natural grain. If you always take good care of your board, it will remain hygienic and stable for many years.
