This special and rare size means that this wood has a wider and more blurred (coarser) grain because it has grown faster (more moisture) to become so large. Olive trees are only released for the timber trade after they no longer bear fruit. So a role model in food production and a perfect synergy between people and nature. Each product is handmade using traditional, high-quality methods and then oiled. So a wonderful piece of nature and joy of life. You can preserve the joy of the product and the character of the wood for as long as possible by simply washing the cutting board with lukewarm water and washing-up liquid after use and then drying it immediately! Please do not place it on a heater. For the best possible care, please rub the cutting board regularly with olive or cooking oil an.
