It is the Mediterranean species par excellence being reborn time and again. Its superb shine and warm yellowish colour streaked with brown veins also contribute much to its legendary success. We select only the finest quality wood species before we cut out the plates and everything is traditionally crafted. For this reason each handle is different. There may also be differences in the veining and a varying number of knots depending on the knife. Caring for your olive wood knife: You should never leave your olive wood-handled utensils to soak in water as they will turn black. Simply wipe with a paper towel after use and use a soft cloth to polish them to a shine. Treating them in this way will keep them looking close to their original state for many years to come.
