Order a handcrafted two-piece salad server set made from original Cretan olive wood in our online shop and treat yourself or a gourmet friend to a very special gift.

Many myths have always surrounded the olive tree and its origins. It is said to have emerged from a contest between the sea god Poseidon and Athena, the goddess of wisdom. But whether that is true or not: the diverse uses of the olive tree have remained unchanged to this day. Its added value for the inhabitants of the Mediterranean is usually summarized in the following three advantages. The olive tree...

• provides shade in summer
• produces valuable food year after year (both eating olives and juice olives for olive oil)
• and provides wood for cold winter days.

But the usefulness of olive wood is far from exhausted. When the tree reaches the end of its life, its unique wood is increasingly being processed with great craftsmanship to produce a wide variety of products, instead of simply burning it. These are also very popular internationally, which is certainly due to the aforementioned exceptionally beautiful grain of the wood. If you order salad servers made of olive wood from us, you will certainly receive a handcrafted unique piece that does not exist a second time in this form.

Care tips for your new wooden cutlery

The wood of the olive tree and the products made from it are something very special – to ensure that this remains the case, it is important to learn a little about their care. Don't worry, you don't have to scrub for hours or spend a fortune on exotic cleaning agents to enjoy your olive wood salad servers for a long time. In terms of care, it is a very grateful wood. Simply follow the tips listed here and the cutlery will still shine beautifully for years to come:

• rinse with clear water before first use
• wash after use with water and possibly a little household dish soap
• dry thoroughly to avoid water spots
• wash by hand only, never in the dishwasher
• rub with a little olive oil from time to time.

The last point preserves the grain and the excellent feel of the cutlery, and the wood remains permanently supple – we treat it for you on the day of your order with our ARISTOS olive oil.

For our handcrafted salad servers, we only use olive wood from sustainable sources

The following note is also particularly important to us: For the salad servers and, of course, for all our other olive wood kitchen utensils, we exclusively use wood that is naturally produced during the olive harvest – or from diseased trees that no longer bear fruit, which does not diminish the quality of the wood. In this way, we ensure that production remains sustainable and that the overall olive tree population is not endangered.
