Know before you buy
Hand wash the muddler with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to crack.
Olive wood is naturally dense and self-oiling, so it does not require frequent maintenance. If the wood begins to look dry after extensive use, you can occasionally rub it with a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to restore its luster.
Olive wood is a non-porous hardwood, which makes it highly resistant to absorbing liquids or odors. It is an excellent choice for muddling citrus, herbs, and sugar without transferring flavors between cocktails.
While this muddler is durable and perfect for crushing herbs, fruit, and sugar, it is designed for standard cocktail preparation. We recommend using a dedicated ice mallet or a heavy-duty metal muddler if you frequently crush large quantities of ice.
Because each muddler is handcrafted from a single, unique piece of sustainably harvested olive wood, the grain patterns, color variations, and shapes will vary. This organic variation is a hallmark of authentic olive wood and ensures your piece is one-of-a-kind.
