Know before you buy
The tapered design allows for greater maneuverability and tactile feedback. Because you hold the barrel directly, you can better feel the thickness of the dough and pivot easily to create perfect circles for tarts or pizzas.
Yes, as with most natural wood tools, you should hand wash it with mild soap and dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out or cracking over time, periodically rub it with a food-safe mineral oil.
At 18 inches long and crafted from solid Beechwood, it provides a substantial, balanced weight that is ideal for rolling out firm doughs. The smooth surface ensures you can apply even pressure without sticking.
The rolling pin comes with a dedicated storage bag, which is recommended to protect the wood from dust and accidental scratches. Because it has an elegant finish, it is also attractive enough to be displayed on a countertop or hung on a wall.
Beechwood is naturally smooth, but like any wooden rolling pin, it may require a light dusting of flour depending on the hydration of your dough. Over time, the wood will develop a natural patina that helps it become increasingly non-stick.
