Know before you buy
Olive wood is exceptionally dense and durable, making it highly resistant to warping. However, as a natural material, it should be kept away from extreme heat sources and prolonged moisture to maintain its structural integrity.
Hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to dry out or split.
While the bowl naturally oils itself over time, you can occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to keep the grain vibrant and prevent the wood from drying out. This simple maintenance will significantly extend the life of the piece.
This bowl is designed primarily for serving salads, fruits, or dry snacks. It is not oven or microwave safe, and we recommend avoiding very hot liquids to prevent potential damage to the wood's finish.
Olive wood is naturally resistant to odors and bacteria. Because it is a dense, non-porous hardwood, it is less likely to retain scents compared to softer woods, provided it is cleaned promptly after use.
