Utensils and accessories for food preparation and serving
The collection includes solutions designed for every convivial moment, from breakfast to dinner. For food preparation, wooden chopping boards provide a stable and hygienic surface, ideal both for slicing and for presenting cured meats, cheeses, and baked goods. During cooking, using wooden ladles and spoons ensures a gentle touch on pots and pans, preventing scratches and preserving their surfaces.
To set the dining table with elegance, wooden bowls and trays hold fruit, bread, and side dishes, gracing the centre of the table with organic shapes and meticulous carving. Those who appreciate the tight grain and extraordinary durability of olive wood can opt for kitchen utensils made of olive wood, ranging from spatulas to corkscrews and honey drizzlers. Refined details such as wooden napkin holders, trivets, and items coordinating with other wooden home decor accessories complete the table setting.
Guide to choosing wooden accessories
Selecting the right accessory depends on the intended use and the characteristics of each wood species. For utensils subjected to frequent use and moisture, such as cooking spatulas and serving boards, olive wood is an excellent choice thanks to its high density and natural resistance to absorption. For lightweight tools or those adorned with traditional carvings, maple offers a light, smooth finish that is very pleasant to the touch. If the main goal is table presentation, shaped trays and bowls in walnut or ash add warm tones and attractive grain patterns. For carafes, dedicated Swiss pine elements provide a much-appreciated alpine aromatic touch.
Frequently asked questions
Can wooden utensils damage non-stick pans?
No, wood has a gentle texture that neither scratches nor wears down non-stick cookware coatings while stirring.
How do you wash and care for wooden kitchenware?
It is best to wash them by hand with warm water and mild soap, dry them immediately in the air, and occasionally treat them with a light coat of vegetable oil.
Which wood types are best suited for contact with food?
Dense, close-grained woods such as olive, maple, and ash are the most suitable because they do not impart unpleasant flavours and resist liquid penetration.
