This handcrafted Olive Wood Serving Dish is hand-turned from a single piece of olive wood. Olive wood is a very attractive and sturdy hard wood with a smooth silky finish, and has antibacterial properties that won't stain. Made from 150 year old, responsibly-sourced olive trees, this Serving Dish serves up food in style! Use it as a bread basket for different types of sliced breads, or serve fresh fruit (like grapes and figs) in it. However you use it, it is sure to be a unique addition to your kitchen! 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 maintain the beautiful natural grains running through it. Because of the unique nature of olive wood, each piece will vary slightly in shape and grain.
