OLIVE WOOD CHOPPING BOARDS
Olive wood is very durable with striking patterns which make it an ideal choice of material for a chopping board.
As with maple trees, an olive tree has a limited life span as far as productivity is concerned, so when it’s no longer viable for bearing olives the wood can be recycled and put to use in many other ways.
The grain on olive wood is very impressive and can be brought out even more when a small amount of olive oil is rubbed into the surface.
Olive chopping boards can be bought in a range of different sizes and some unusual shapes, making them ideal for someone who wants something a bit out of the ordinary in the their kitchen.
The olive tree is native to Asia, the Mediterranean and Africa and is very small in size.
It is often referred to in the Bible and has been cultivated for thousands of years for its wood, olive leaves, olives and olive oil.
Because of their attractive shapes some owners are quite happy to have their olive chopping boards hanging on the wall, in the same way you would display any other piece of art.
They really do have an appeal which sets them apart from some of the traditional shapes and sizes of boards available to buy.
Olive wood is extremely hard-
As with other wooden chopping boards it should never be put in the dishwasher, due to its porous nature. Instead you should clean it thoroughly with a mild detergent of sanitising spray.
If you look after your olive chopping board carefully you will have an attractive feature in your kitchen for many years to come.
