This beautiful Olive Wood Cheese Board is 16 inches. Olive wood is a very attractive and sturdy hard wood with a smooth silky finish, and it also has antibacterial properties that won't stain. Made from 150 year old, responsibly-sourced olive trees, this cheese board is sure to become a focal point in your kitchen. Use it as a cheese board when entertaining, or serve appetizers, sliced baguette or fresh fruit (like grapes, figs) on it. In order to maintain its beauty and durability, be sure to hand-wash and dry thoroughly; treat it every few months with mineral oil to preserve the beautiful natural grains running through the board. Because of the unique nature of olive wood, each piece will vary slightly in shape and grain.
