Sustainability
This beautiful olive wood mortar and pestle is made from retired olive trees that no longer produce olives, which are then replaced with new olive trees.
After the old trees are felled, they are subsequently substituted with fresh olive trees.
Utilizing the old wood to craft high-quality, long-lasting products ensures that the carbon stored within the wood remains securely sequestered.

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.
