care
- Hand wash gently with mild soap and lukewarm water to preserve the wood’s natural finish and texture.
- Dry immediately after washing to prevent moisture absorption and maintain the integrity of the grain over time.
- Avoid soaking or prolonged exposure to water, as natural olive wood can expand or develop cracks with excess moisture.
- Nourish the surface occasionally with food-safe mineral oil to enhance the rich grain patterns and keep the wood smooth and conditioned.
- Keep away from dishwashers, microwaves, and direct heat sources to protect the handcrafted structure and natural durability of the wood.
- Store in a cool, dry space to help retain the wood’s natural character, colour, and long-lasting strength.
- Natural variations in grain, knots, and tone are unique characteristics of authentic olive wood, making every piece one of a kind.
- Lightly polish with a small amount of olive oil occasionally to restore the wood’s natural sheen and enrich its warm organic tones.

A beautiful demonstration of old-world mechanical ingenuity, the Heritage Screw-Top Nutcracker is hand-turned from the densest heartwood of the Tunisian olive tree. This two-piece set features a hollow, ergonomic base and a precision-threaded wooden screw. The multi-tonal grain of the olive wood, ranging from soft cream to deep, dark amber wraps around the curved silhouette, making this functional tool a small-scale sculptural artifact.
Designed for the tactile pleasure of a slow, curated evening, this nutcracker offers a gentle yet powerful alternative to traditional metal levers. By twisting the oversized, easy-grip wooden screw, you can crack artisanal nuts with precision and control, keeping the shells contained within the vessel. Its compact, rounded form fits perfectly in the palm of the hand and adds a touch of quiet luxury to any holiday spread or cocktail hour tabletop.
