Olive Wood Serving Platter

Hand-Carved Olive Wood Serving Platter — Crafted by a Family of Tunisian Artisans

This serving platter is handmade by a family of artisans from the coastal region of Tunisia, where olive trees grow for centuries and carving is a craft passed down through generations. The makers work exclusively with wood from non-fruit-bearing olive trees, shaping each piece by hand using traditional techniques they learned as children. The result is functional art, every platter a reflection of their heritage, patience, and mastery of the material.

Why it’s special?

• Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Carved from a single block of olive wood, the platter showcases sweeping, organic grain patterns that make every board uniquely beautiful.
• Naturally durable & food-safe - olive wood is dense, non-porous, and naturally resistant to odors and bacteria, ideal for cheeses, charcuterie, fruits, or antipasti.
• Only wood from trees that no longer bear fruit (or from pruning) is used, giving new purpose to materials that would otherwise be discarded.

Perfect for charcuterie, cheese boards, small bites, bread, fruit spreads, or as a striking centerpiece for your table. Its warm tones and smooth finish add rustic elegance to both casual evenings and elevated gatherings.

Care & Maintenance

• Hand-wash with mild soap and warm water; avoid soaking.
• Dry thoroughly after washing.
• Re-oil every few weeks with food-safe mineral oil, beeswax, or a light coat of olive oil.
• For stains or lingering odors, rub with lemon and coarse salt, rinse, dry, and re-oil.
