Know before you buy
The blackened finish is achieved through a specialized heat-treating process that darkens the cherry wood. Because it is a natural finish rather than a surface paint or stain, it will not rub off onto your food.
Hand wash the spreader with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. To keep the wood from drying out, occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.
The 7-inch length is well-suited for standard butter dishes and small-to-medium condiment jars. If you are frequently reaching into very deep, narrow jars, you may find the handle length slightly limiting.
While the cherry wood is durable, it is best suited for soft spreads like room-temperature butter, cream cheese, or jams. It is not designed to cut through hard, cold butter straight from the refrigerator.
Yes, the cherry wood construction is gentle and will not scratch or damage non-stick surfaces, making it a safe choice for all types of serveware.
