Frequently Asked Questions

Olive wood is one of the highest quality and rarest types of wood in the world. 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 tools, are made from solid wood and refined with careful craftsmanship. The unique grain and elaborate processing make each piece a durable one-of-a-kind.

The olive wood for our kitchen utensils comes exclusively from the Sfax region in Tunisia, which is 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.

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

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

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-conserving processing.

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

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 long periods and to regularly treat them with a little oil. This keeps them smooth and stable.

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

To keep your olive wood 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
