Olive wood kitchenware, with its stunning natural grain and long-lasting durability, can bring a touch of rustic charm to your cooking experience.
Whether you're using a chopping board or utensils made from olive wood, proper care is essential to keep them looking great and functioning well over time.
In this blog, we’ll guide you through the simple steps to maintain your olive wood chopping boards and utensils to ensure they last for years to come.
Let’s dive into how you can preserve the beauty and functionality of these prized kitchen tools.
1. Hand Wash Only
Olive wood is porous, which means it can easily absorb water. This makes it crucial to avoid soaking your olive wood products in water or putting them in the dishwasher.
Instead, after use, gently wash them by hand using warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using harsh scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
2. Dry Immediately
After washing, be sure to dry your olive wood chopping board and utensils right away with a soft, clean towel. Allowing them to air dry can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
Keep them away from direct sunlight or heat sources, such as an oven or radiator, as extreme temperatures can cause similar damage.
3. Oil Regularly
One of the most important aspects of caring for olive wood products is regularly oiling them. Olive wood can dry out over time, and oiling helps to maintain the wood’s natural moisture, keeping it from cracking or splitting.
Use food-grade mineral oil or olive oil, and apply it to the surface with a soft cloth. Let the oil soak in for a few hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess. This will also enhance the rich grain of the wood, giving it a fresh and vibrant appearance.
4. Remove Stains Naturally
If your olive wood chopping board or utensils get stained from use, you can clean them naturally without damaging the wood. A mixture of lemon juice and salt can be used to gently scrub away tough stains.
Simply sprinkle some coarse salt over the stained area, then rub a lemon half over it in circular motions. Afterward, rinse with warm water and dry immediately. The natural acidity of the lemon also helps neutralize any lingering odors.
5. Store Properly
Proper storage is key to prolonging the life of your olive wood kitchenware. Keep your chopping board and utensils in a dry environment, away from moisture.
For utensils, it’s best to hang them up or store them in an upright position to prevent pressure that can lead to warping.
