Know before you buy
No, these olivewood bowls must be hand washed only. Dishwashers can cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its natural finish.
To keep the wood from drying out and to maintain its luster, occasionally rub the bowls with a food-safe mineral oil or olive oil. This helps preserve the wood's natural grain and prevents cracking.
Because each bowl is handcrafted from natural olivewood, there will be variations in color, tone, and grain pattern. You should expect your set to have its own unique character, meaning no two pieces will be identical.
These bowls are specifically sized for 'aperitivo' style service. They are perfect for small snacks like olives, nuts, dried fruits, or dipping sauces, rather than full-sized portions or liquid-heavy dishes.
Yes, these bowls are crafted from natural olivewood and are intended for serving food. They are a safe and elegant choice for presenting appetizers and tapas.
