Sustainability
The Italian Olivewood Mandolin Paddle Grater is crafted from sustainably sourced olivewood, a material known for its durability and minimal environmental impact. Olive trees are only harvested for wood after they stop producing olives, ensuring that no healthy, fruit-bearing trees are cut down unnecessarily. This practice reduces waste and supports a sustainable cycle of growth and use. The grater is also designed to last for years, cutting down on the need for frequent replacements.
Its handle is biodegradable, and with proper care, it can maintain its quality for a long time, making it an eco-friendly choice for your kitchen. Plus, its minimalist packaging and durable design help minimize environmental impact, aligning with Earthshopp’s commitment to sustainable living.

How to use
The Italian Olivewood Mandolin Paddle Grater is designed to make grating effortless and elegant.
