Know before you buy
This tool is specifically designed for spreading soft cheeses, butter, pâté, or tapenades. Its sharpened edge also allows for light slicing of accompaniments like charcuterie or fruit.
To preserve the natural beauty and integrity of the olive wood, hand wash the spreader with mild soap and dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to dry out or crack.
The blade comes sharpened for immediate use. Because it is intended for spreading rather than heavy-duty cutting, it should maintain its edge well with standard use, though you can lightly hone it if you find the edge dulls over time.
Yes, the high-grade stainless steel is designed to resist corrosion and staining. However, it is still best practice to clean and dry the blade promptly after use to keep the finish in pristine condition.
