Know before you buy
This board is designed primarily for serving and light cutting tasks. While the olive wood is durable and scratch-resistant, its narrow 5.5-inch width is better suited for charcuterie, cheese, or bread rather than intensive meal prep.
To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil. Simply wipe the board clean after use and avoid soaking it in water or placing it in the dishwasher.
Olive wood is naturally non-porous, which makes it highly resistant to both odors and stains. This makes it an excellent choice for serving pungent cheeses or acidic foods without lingering smells.
Because each board is artisan-crafted from natural olive wood branches, the exact shape and grain pattern will vary. The 16.5 by 5.5-inch dimensions are approximate, reflecting the unique, irregular silhouette of each individual piece.
Yes, the built-in handle is carved directly into the wood, providing a secure and ergonomic grip. It is perfectly balanced for carrying appetizers or serving snacks from the kitchen to the table.
