Sustainability
The Italian Olivewood Charcuterie & Cutting Board is a sustainable choice for your kitchen. Handcrafted from solid olivewood sourced in Italy, it is made from mature trees that no longer produce olives—ensuring no unnecessary deforestation. Olivewood is incredibly durable, lasting a lifetime with proper care, which reduces the need for replacements and minimizes waste. Unlike plastic boards that contribute to landfill waste, this natural wood option is biodegradable.
Additionally, its smooth surface preserves the sharpness of knives, preventing premature wear. By choosing artisan-crafted olivewood, you support sustainable forestry practices and help preserve traditional craftsmanship in Umbria, Italy.

What are people saying about Italian Olivewood Charcuterie & Cutting Board - Large?
So many things to love about this board and all of the Italian Olivewood items that Verve Culture carries. The wood itself has such a beautiful grain and due to the variegation of the grain, the color applied is mesmerizing in the pattern it creates. I use these boards for charcuterie (of course) but also as a platter for dry food items. You can use them to display a variety of items. I love adding a white, glass or olivewood bowl to add a height contrast for displaying food as well. I have bought many items from Verve Culture. Service, pricing and shipping are outstanding with a small company feel.
This board is the most beautiful board I’ve ever purchased. It’s sturdy but not super heavy, in perfect condition, and gorgeous. You won’t be disappointed!
