Sustainability
These beautiful olive wood products are made from retired olive trees that no longer produce olives.
The old trees, once cut down, are then replaced with new olive trees.
The old wood, being made into quality products that can last for year or even a lifetime mean that the carbon sequestered into that wood remains sequestered.
The material of these cutting boards is 100% olive wood from Tunisia.

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.
