Description
- OLIVE WOOD - Hand carved from a piece of solid wood, this kitchen tool holder is both beautiful and functional. Olive wood is very hard and dense with a tight grain. This feature of olive wood makes it more resistant to odors and stains when compared to other woods. The tight grain also makes the wood incredibly smooth and gives it a warm sheen.
- DISTINCTIVE BEAUTY - Each piece in the set is unique due to the wood's grain. No two pieces will be exactly the same - the wood itself makes each piece its own work of art - with unique characteristics including the beautiful natural marbled pattern of the grain and color which are imparted from the olive tree itself. A harmony of functional and utility with beauty and style.
- HANDMADE - Each piece is made by artisans in Tunisia, in the region of Sfax. The olive wood that is used is harvested from old and fruitless trees. The combination of the uniqueness of the wood and the craftsmanship of the artisans make each set its own piece of art ! A beautiful addition to your kitchen, and it will make a thoughtful and long-appreciated gift.
- CARE - To maintain the beauty of your olive wood utensils, hand wash and rinse. Do not soak the pieces as this can raise the grain. Please do not place in the dishwasher. Seasoning sounds complicated, but it is easy. Simply rub the holder with a food safe oil, like mineral oil or sunflower oil or walnut oil. Let soak in for five minutes and rub off the excess. Re-apply periodically to prevent the wood from drying out and to maintain its natural sheen. With this easy maintenance, you will be able to enjoy your beautiful olive wood utensil holder for years to come!
Beautiful and functional, this 6.75 inch olive wood utensil holder will become one of your favorite kitchen items. While the handcrafted design and natural beauty of the olive wood itself suggests these should be used only for entertaining or special occasions, the true beauty of this collection is that they will enjoy this in your kitchen everyday. Bamboo, nylon or silicone may be functional, but you do not want to use them to serve company. This olive wood container from the Artesian Collection by Easy Made Kitchen provide all the benefits of those other types: ecofriendly like bamboo, and odor and stain resistant like the nylon or silicone. Additionally, they have something those other materials do not - a wow factor!
