Sustainability
This cheese board is made from upcycled olive wood, sourced from trees that no longer bear fruit — making use of a material that would otherwise go to waste. Every board is hand-carved in Tunisia without the use of synthetic additives, glues, or plastics. Its durability and reusability reduce the need for frequent replacements, and its minimal, plastic-free packaging keeps environmental impact low. As part of an ethically sourced and artisan-crafted line, this board supports eco-friendly practices and long-term sustainability.

About Natural Olive Wood
Natural OliveWood is a family-owned business that handcrafts kitchenware from non-productive olive trees.
Born and raised in Sfax, Tunisia, brothers Hatem and Walid Alimi learned the art of carving the trunks of olive trees as children.
Today, the Alimi brothers (and family) produce naturally beautiful kitchen products, all boasting the distinct swirling patterns of the trees’ twisted trunks.
Nonporous by nature and coated in a protective layer of olive oil, Natural OliveWood products are safe and sustainable.
