Sustainability
This spoon is made from upcycled olive wood, sourced from olive trees that no longer produce fruit. Rather than being discarded, this dense, durable hardwood is handcrafted into functional kitchen tools that can last a lifetime. Because it’s made from a single piece of natural wood — with no glue, chemicals, or synthetic materials — it’s fully plastic-free, reusable, and low-impact. The production process emphasizes ethical sourcing, minimal packaging, and artisan craftsmanship, helping reduce environmental harm and promote conscious living.

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.
