Know before you buy
Because this spoon is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it with mild soap and warm water. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.
Ziricote is known for its dramatic, artistic grain patterns that often feature dark, spider-webbing streaks. Jobillo wood offers a warmer aesthetic with distinct, consistent striped tones.
Yes, the spoon is food-safe and suitable for serving gourmet dishes. However, it should not be left in a hot pan or used in the microwave, as extreme heat and moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack.
The spoon is designed as a refined serving utensil rather than a durable toy or feeding tool. Its handcrafted finish and natural wood material are best preserved when used by adults for culinary serving purposes.
No, because each spoon is hand-crafted from natural wood, every piece features a unique grain pattern. You can expect your spoon to have its own individual character, making it a one-of-a-kind addition to your kitchen.
