Know before you buy
Hand wash the press with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out, periodically apply a food-safe mineral oil to maintain the grain's luster and prevent cracking.
The press is specifically sized for lemons and similar-sized citrus. Larger fruits like oranges or grapefruits may not fit properly in the manual press mechanism.
Olive wood is a dense, non-porous hardwood, which makes it naturally resistant to absorbing liquids and odors. However, it is best to wash it promptly after use to ensure the wood stays in top condition.
The press is designed for efficient leverage, making it easy to extract juice with minimal effort. Its ergonomic shape is intended to make manual pressing comfortable for everyday kitchen tasks.
No, this tool should be hand washed only. The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher will cause the olive wood to warp, crack, or lose its natural finish.
