Know before you buy
Hand wash the cellars with mild soap and water, then dry them immediately. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, periodically apply a food-safe beeswax blend.
The pivoting lids are designed for easy, one-handed access while cooking, so they are not airtight. They are intended to keep dust and debris out of your salt and pepper while remaining accessible.
Because each piece is handcrafted from unique, 300-year-old olive wood, the grain patterns and color variations will differ from the product photos. This natural variation is a signature feature of the material.
Yes, the cellars are versatile enough to hold any dry spice or herb. However, be aware that porous wood can absorb strong aromas, so you may want to dedicate specific cellars to specific spices.
The cellars are sealed in Germany using food-safe finishes. They are crafted from sustainably sourced olive wood, ensuring they are safe for direct contact with your kitchen staples.
