Know before you buy
To preserve the wood, hand wash these forks with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately. Avoid soaking them or putting them in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to crack or warp over time.
Yes, periodically rubbing the forks with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax will keep the olive wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out. This simple maintenance helps maintain the wood's natural luster and longevity.
These forks are designed primarily for cold or room-temperature appetizers, tapas, and snacks. While they are heat-resistant, prolonged exposure to high heat or steam may affect the finish of the natural wood.
Each fork measures 3.8 inches in length and 0.3 inches in width. Their compact size makes them ideal for picking up small bites like olives, cheese cubes, or charcuterie.
Because these forks are handcrafted from natural olive wood, each piece features unique grain patterns and color variations. This means your set will have a distinct, one-of-a-kind character.
