SPANISH
OLIVE WOOD
Hand
crafted olive wood table wear is strikingly beautiful. The naked
wood itself is truly unique in its contrasting tones and grains
and thus produces some of the most exquisite pieces which are
hardwearing and practical, yet elegant, beautiful and timeless.
The
region of Andalucia is responsible for 80% of Spain's olive and
olive oil production. In true traditional style nothing is wasted,
least of all the olive tree itself. With such a high turnover
of sustainable olive trees an artisan trade has been long established.
Andalucia boasts some of the finest olive groves in Europe and
as such, the finished olive wood pieces are of the highest quality.
Particular attention to detail is paid throughout the process
from the selection of whole pieces, to the carving and finishing
which result in some of the finest carved olive wood products
available.
Orce
Serrano hams are proud to work with 'Bernat' and his team of local
craftsman with over 45 years of experience in this field. Each
unique product is a result of true artisan flair and the magical
beauty of the raw material. Feel the weight and quality of the
finish in your hands and you will understand!

| Looking
after your olive wood purchase
Keep
away from direct sunlight and extremes of temperature. After
use always "season" the wood by rubbing a light
covering of olive oil over the item, this will ensure longevity
and keep your olive wood in prime condition.
Ordering
Although
we endeavour to maintain sufficient stock levels of all
olive wood products, on occasion due to the nature of the
products being hand made, deliveries may incur a slight
delay. This is due to the essential oiling and drying process.
