Kitchen Wood Conditioning Butter

We're pleased to present this new formulation for olivewood care so you can hydrate, restore, and protect the wood in your kitchen.

We've obtained beeswax from our friendly beekeepers at Olivarez Chico Honey and emulsified it with food grade mineral oil over gentle heat to produce this lightly aromatic and somewhat fluid semi-solid "butter" to apply directly to your spoons, boards, and bowls to keep them in good condition without an overly waxy finish.

The aroma is naturally occurring from the hives, and has a warm sweetness like honey and cedar that does not linger long.

Why You Need This 

Olivewood likely arrives to you dry. Our olivewood ships from the edge of the desert in central Tunisia, an arid climate good for living olive trees, but hard on the boards and tools those trees yield. Woodenware waits in a warehouse, then takes 14 or more days on the water in an ocean-going vessel, crosses the North American continent to me in California, and waits in another warehouse for your order. By the time you receive your olivewood, it is likely to appear dry and in the need of conditioning.

Wood, including olivewood, is porous. Even with careful hand washing utensils become dry, lose the vividness of their markings, and even split or crack over time.

How to Use

Wipe the olivewood with a damp cloth and, once clean and dry, massage some conditioner onto it. Allow the formula time to soak overnight, and then wipe away the excess. Read more about the care of olivewood in our Convivial Conversation section.
