FAQ

How do I clean and maintain the salad serving set?

Hand wash the set with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Occasionally rub with food-safe oil, such as mineral or olive oil, to maintain the wood’s natural luster and prevent cracking.

Are the wood grain and sizes consistent across sets?

No, each piece is hand carved, so wood grain patterns and slight size variations (around 11-12 inches) are natural and unique, adding to the set’s artisanal charm.

Is this product suitable for dishwasher use?

No, to preserve the wood’s integrity and finish, we recommend hand washing only, as dishwashers can cause warping or damage over time.

What makes wild olive wood a good choice for kitchen utensils?

Wild olive wood is dense, hard, and naturally resistant to moisture and odors, making it ideal for kitchen use. It also develops a rich patina with age, enhancing its beauty.
