Irregular Salad Bowl in Olive Wood

The salad bowls, unique pieces, require between 3 and 4 hours of work and are made from the unproductive olive wood trunks of 150 to 200 years old.

Diameter of the salad bowls: from 24 to 26cm

Here is our story in Tunisia, where we manufacture our plates and our salad bowls made of olive wood. This work is the result of many improvements realized in collaboration with this small family workshop, which has made us benefit from its expertise over several generations.

Tunisia is the country where there is the most olive trees planted in the world (80 million trees!) and the wood from the trees that are too old to produce olives are replaced by younger trees. If it is not used for such items, it is sold to be transformed into coal!

Maintenance: oil regularly the salad bowl with grape seed oil or another clear oil, and/or neutral taste. Do not expose in a extended manner to the sun, do not wash in the dishwasher, and use lukewarm water ins-tead of hot water. Cracks or rough edges can appear and disappear from time to time, the wood is alive! If a lasting crack appears with usage (which is very rare because the salad bowl has dried for several months before being sold), fill with wood filler, let dry and sand lightly.
