Sustainability
The Olive Wood Ladle is a sustainable kitchen essential, crafted from upcycled, organic olive wood — a byproduct of olive trees that no longer produce fruit. Rather than going to waste, this beautiful hardwood is transformed into durable, long-lasting utensils. Each ladle is hand-carved in Tunisia using traditional methods, supporting artisanal craftsmanship and reducing the carbon footprint associated with mass production. With minimal, reduced packaging and no synthetic materials, it's a mindful choice for eco-conscious cooks.

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.
What are people saying about the Olive Wood Ladle - 12"?
How to use
This 12-inch Olive Wood Ladle is perfect for stirring soups, stews, sauces, and serving broths. Its deep bowl holds a generous amount of liquid, while the sturdy handle gives you a comfortable grip.
Gentle enough for use with non-stick cookware, it won’t scratch surfaces. To maintain its beauty and longevity, hand wash only and occasionally apply a food-safe oil to keep the wood nourished and prevent drying or cracking.
