HA_Z0546 Olivewood Fork & Spoon Set
This two piece set consists of a fork and spoon. We also offer a three piece set which has a fork, spoon and knife. For information about this set, please see the listing for HA_Z084 also in the utensils section.
This fork and spoon set are made with Italian olivewood which is a lovely, dark wood especially well suited for eating utensils. Olivewood is an environmentally friendly hardwood which is grown in southern Europe and is very popular for its beautiful grain and dark walnut brown color. Olivewood items have a naturally high resin content which resists absorption of stains, odors and liquids.
These utensils are approximately six inches long. The Pillaged Village olivewood series woodenware has all been hand carved making each piece unique. Some variation in the length and shape is to be expected since they are individually handmade.
The Pillaged Village purchases our woodenware from companies which promote Ecological Foresting and foster the environmental, social and economic sustainability of their forests.
To clean, hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry. No wood is dishwasher safe! These utensils must not be placed in a dishwasher or soaked in water. With proper care and attention they will last a lifetime and become even more beautiful with age.
With time and use, these utensils may eventually dry out. To preserve the natural finish of the wood, we recommend applying refined mineral oil occasionally. The frequency of application would depend on the amount of use. Vegetable or other types of "food" oil are not recommended due to the concern that they could become rancid over time. The oil will help maintain the vitality of the wood and restore the wood's natural sheen.
