Types of utensils and materials
The range includes ladles and spoons crafted from selected woods to meet various needs during cooking and serving. Maple wood spoons stand out for their traditional decorative carvings, such as edelweiss, hearts and alpine figures, bringing a rustic touch to everyday preparations.
Among the solutions designed for specific uses, slotted turners and flat or ergonomic spatulas stand out, ideal for flipping food or spreading mixtures. For those who prefer distinctive grain and dense fibres, olive wood accessories, such as spatulas and shaped honey drizzlers, ensure natural resistance to liquids and a pleasant feel to the touch, pairing perfectly with kitchen utensils made of olive wood.
Guide to choosing the ideal utensil
Choosing the right ladle or spatula depends mainly on the intended use and the cookware being used. For stirring soups, risottos or hot sauces in non-stick pans, a long maple wood spoon ensures a comfortable grip and protects inner coatings from unwanted scratches.
When cooking meat, pan-frying vegetables or working thick doughs, flat spatulas provide the leverage needed to move food without breaking it. For table service, spoons carved with decorative motifs or shaped olive wood honey drizzlers also become exquisite aesthetic details, ideal to pair with wooden chopping boards and wooden bowls and trays during aperitifs and buffets.
Frequently asked questions
Do wooden ladles damage non-stick pans?
No, the natural softness of wood compared to metal protects non-stick and enamelled coatings from scratches and wear during cooking.
Which wood should you choose between maple and olive wood for the kitchen?
Maple is lightweight, pale and ideal for decorative carvings and daily use, whilst olive wood is denser, moisture-resistant and characterised by unique grain patterns.
How should wooden spoons be washed properly?
It is recommended to wash them by hand using warm water and a little mild detergent, air-drying them immediately and avoiding the dishwasher to preserve the wood grain.
