Know before you buy
No. Olive wood is naturally non-porous, which prevents it from absorbing liquids, odors, or flavors from your herbs and fruits.
Hand wash the muddler with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out, periodically rub it with a food-safe mineral oil or olive oil.
Yes. While the head is smooth to prevent tearing delicate herbs, the hardness of the olive wood allows you to apply enough pressure to effectively extract juices and oils from citrus and other firm ingredients.
Because each muddler is handcrafted from natural olive wood, the grain patterns and color variations will be unique to your specific piece. You can expect a one-of-a-kind item that reflects the natural beauty of the wood.
No, you should avoid the dishwasher. High heat and prolonged exposure to water can cause the wood to crack or warp, so hand washing is necessary to maintain its durability.
