Whether you're a chef, a cooking enthusiast, or a mum, olive wood products are the ideal choice for your everyday kitchen needs.

Olive wood is naturally antibacterial as it prevents the growth of bacteria and mold.
Thanks to its compact cellular structure, it does not absorb liquids or odors and has high heat resistance.

Due to its 100% natural structure and unlike other woods, Mediterranean olive wood helps bring out the rich flavors of food.

Handcrafted from premium olive wood, each of our products has an irregular, natural grain.
The uniqueness of the design and texture brings a Mediterranean style to your kitchen.

Whether you prefer regular or rustic shapes, we offer a variety of genuine olive wood products in different shapes and sizes.

The shape varies according to the natural growth of the olive tree and may differ slightly from the photos.

The extremely hard wood of the olive tree, with its expressive, unique grain, is one of the most beautiful woods in the world.
Our extraction area, the SFAX region, benefits from its privileged location between the beautiful Mediterranean coast and the desert with its unique climate zone.

This combination makes our distinctive olive wood grain the most exclusive in the world.
All our products are made in Tunisia. With great attention to detail and quality, our family manufactory has been producing high-quality olive wood products for decades.

FAQs

Olive wood is a very hard, dense wood due to its slow growth and is about 60% harder than oak wood.

Olive wood has a very special but subtle odor of its own. It smells a little sweetish with a hint of olive oil scent. The naturally relatively high oil content in the wood prevents odors from settling in the wood.

Olive wood is extremely resistant to moisture, so it does not become rough or brittle.

It always feels always smooth to the touch.

Since the manual processing is focused on the natural olive wood, it creates together with the beautiful grain very attractive individual pieces.

Every single piece is therefore unique.

The wood of the olive tree is hygienic and resistant to acids, fats, or bacteria and does not absorb liquids and odors. It preserves the flavor and aroma of the food.

In addition, the hardwood is gentle on your knife blades and leaves very little cutting marks. Exposure to high-temperature variations can cause the wood to work and crack.

Like our sustainable raw material olive wood, our packaging is of course also environmentally friendly and 100% plastic-free.
