About our Olive Wood Products:

All of our olive wood products are ethically produced. They are made from the wood of trees which no longer produce fruit. New trees are continually being planted to replace those used to produce these products. All carvings made of this hard wood have a varying and smooth grain, making every piece unique. The artistically smooth and elegant grain of the olive wood renders it one of the most beautiful in the world and olive wood carvings will easily last a life time if looked after properly. Nonporous by nature and coated in a protective layer of olive oil, olive wood products are safe and sustainable. To ensure your products last a long time, please follow these guidelines:

• Hand wash only, not suitable for dishwashers.
• Occasionally coat with olive oil to prevent the wood from drying out.
• Do not leave soaking in water or exposed to heat or sunshine.
