What This Piece Means
I keep one of these by the stove at home. Olive wood is dense and heat-tolerant so a hot wooden spoon coming straight off the pan does not scorch the rest, and the natural grain hides splatter the way a ceramic rest never does. Wipe it dry, that is the whole care routine.
The Story of This Piece
Each spoon rest is shaped from a single olive wood blank, hand finished, no varnish. The shallow well in the middle catches drippings and the wide flat base sits flat on any counter without rocking.
How It Is Used
Used at the stove, near the cooktop, or as a small tray for serving spoons during a dinner party. Pairs with our other olive wood kitchen tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the spoon rest heat safe?
Yes, olive wood handles brief contact with hot cooking spoons and ladles. Wipe drippings off promptly and avoid leaving a hot spoon resting for long minutes.
Does it have a varnish or finish?
No varnish, no stain, no sealant. Sanded smooth and left bare so the natural olive wood grain stays visible and food-safe.
How is it cleaned?
Wipe with a damp cloth after each use, towel dry. Hand wash with mild soap if needed, never the dishwasher.
Will it crack from heat or daily use?
Olive wood is naturally dense and stable. Hand wash, dry promptly, and rub with food-grade mineral oil once or twice a year and it should last decades.
