Know before you buy
To preserve the wood, handwash the cellar with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as excess moisture can cause the wood to warp.
Yes, the natural beeswax polish is a food-safe finish that protects the wood while highlighting its natural grain. It provides a non-toxic barrier that is perfect for storing salt or other dry spices.
No, the high-quality Mahogany and Tiger wood used are dense and non-porous enough that they will not impart any flavor or odor to your salt. It is a neutral and safe material for kitchen storage.
Because each piece is handcrafted from natural Mahogany and Tiger wood, you should expect slight variations in grain pattern and color. This makes every salt cellar a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
The cellar is designed for easy access, but it does not have an airtight gasket. It is best suited for dry environments or kitchens where you want quick, frequent access to your salt while cooking.
