Olive Wood Bent Plate

Our olive wood bent plate is a handcrafted serving piece characterized by its unique, artistic shape and the natural beauty of the wood. It is typically a long, narrow platter with a slight upward curve or bend along its length.

• Distinctive Bent Shape: The defining feature is the elegant, ergonomic curve that adds a modern and artistic flair to traditional woodenware. This shape is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, often providing a natural boundary for food items and making it easier to pick up.
• Unique Aesthetic: Each plate is carved from a single piece of dense olive wood, ensuring a one-of-a-kind item. It showcases unique, rich, swirling grain patterns and warm golden-brown tones that bring a touch of natural elegance to any table setting.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Olive wood is an extremely hard and dense hardwood, making the plate strong, resilient, and highly resistant to scratches, odors, and stains. With proper care, it is built to last for many years.
• Hygienic and Food-Safe: The natural oils within the wood provide inherent antibacterial properties, making it a hygienic choice for serving food. The plates are typically finished with food-safe oils or beeswax and contain no harmful chemicals or sealants.
• Versatile Use: This shape is ideal for serving long or linear items such as baguettes, sushi, cheese selections, antipasti, fruits, or a row of appetizers. It also serves as a beautiful decorative centerpiece or a catch-all for items like keys or remote controls.
• Sustainable Sourcing: The wood is often sourced from very old olive trees that have reached the end of their natural fruiting life or from pruned branches, making it an environmentally conscious and sustainable choice.

• Hand Wash Only: Wash gently with warm water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the tray in water for extended periods.
• Avoid Dishwashers/Microwaves: It is not dishwasher or microwave safe, as the extreme heat and moisture can cause the wood to dry out, warp, or crack.
• Oil Occasionally: Periodically apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or olive oil using a soft cloth. This helps maintain the wood’s natural luster and prevents it from drying out over time.
