Our Olive Wood Kitchen Utensil Collection
Whether you are outfitting your own kitchen or purchasing gifts, you probably prioritise items that are high-quality and made of premium materials. At Forge & Fig, we understand this way of thinking, because we also prioritise exceptional quality. That is why we carefully source our luxury tableware and cookware, choosing artisan-quality pieces that function as beautifully as they look. Our olive wood collection is certainly no exception to this rule. Here, we explore our gorgeous olive wood pieces, offering tips not only for use but also for maintenance, so that you can keep each piece as stunning as it was the day you discovered it.
Why Olive Wood?
The wood of the olive tree is beautifully striped and sometimes marbled. It is a rare commodity because these treasured trees do not grow very tall, so the wood is only used in fine furniture and smaller applications, like olive wood kitchen utensils. The wood is very hard, but has a tight grain and natural oil that predispose it to carving, and a sweet aroma that makes it pleasant to work. This exquisite wood certainly has its imperfections, which is why it takes an expert artisan to create beautiful olive wood pieces. The end result is worth the expense of the precious wood and the challenge of turning it into something useful and lovely.
Olive wood is not just aesthetically pleasing, but is also immensely practical. Olive wood utensils make serving an ordinary meal an extraordinary experience, and these impressive pieces are also naturally resistant to bacteria. Properly maintained, they will maintain their attractive look and remain useful for years to come.
How do I look after my olive wood bowls and utensils?
To care for your olive wood items, follow these four simple steps:
Wash them gently after each use, in warm water and washing up liquid.
Dry them thoroughly and immediately.
Rub them occasionally with olive oil, allowing it to sit for a few minutes before you wipe it off of your pieces.
Protect olive wood utensils and other olive wood items from heat.
The Forge & Fig Olive Wood Collection
At Forge & Fig, we offer a variety of olive wood kitchen items, useful in your kitchen but also suitable for giving as gifts. What better way is there to celebrate a wedding or express appreciation to a thoughtful host than to give the gift of handcrafted, exquisitely made olive wood items? Here is a look at what we have to offer.
Our Olive Wood Storage Bowl is a gorgeous addition to any home. This olive wood bowl has naturally rustic edge that makes it a conversation piece as well as a serving dish. The hardness of the olive wood, along with its high oil content make this bowl extremely resistant to fat, and its unique natural grain makes each bowl a one of a kind piece. Whether you are entertaining at your home or giving this as a gift, it is sure to impress.
The Olive Wood Dip Bowl Set is beautiful and versatile. Consisting of an olive wood base, two ceramic bowls, and two wooden spoons, it can serve a variety of purposes and grace your table all year round. Its classic look complements a holiday spread but can just as easily be used at a summer social, for serving dips. In the morning, it gracefully holds jam and honey for your breakfast, while in the evening it adds a touch of elegance to your meal, holding olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping freshly baked bread.
The Olive Wood Mortar and Pestle is a joy to use. It is only six or seven cm high, but this elegant little mortar features a handle below the bowl, which allows the user to hold the mortar more easily while grinding salt, pepper, herbs, and more with the pestle.
Our Olive Wood Salad Servers will wow your guests. The expressive grain makes each salad utensil unique, and they are extremely easy to maintain. A simple rinse after use is all that is required to keep them in good condition, but oiling them from time to time will further preserve their exquisite look and feel.
