Sustainability
The Olive Wood Spurtle is made using upcycled, organic olive wood from trees that are no longer fruit-bearing, giving this precious material new life as a functional kitchen tool. Hand-carved by artisans in Tunisia, each spurtle is crafted without glue, plastics, or synthetic treatments, making it a completely plastic-free and reusable alternative to mass-produced utensils. Its long-lasting nature reduces the need for frequent replacements, and the production process supports ethical sourcing and minimal packaging, keeping its environmental footprint low.

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.

How to use
Use this spurtle for all your go-to cooking tasks — it’s perfect for sautéing vegetables, stirring sauces, flipping pancakes, or even scrambling eggs. Its slim profile and gently curved edges make it ideal for use with non-stick cookware, as it won’t scratch your pans.
To care for it, hand wash only, and occasionally condition with food-safe oil to maintain the wood’s rich tone and smooth finish.
