Rectangular Cutting Board, Handcrafted in Crete

Every piece begins with an olive tree in Crete, Greece that has reached the end of its fruit-producing life, typically after 100 to 300 years of growth. No productive trees are cut down.

The wood is air-dried for several months to stabilise the grain, then hand-carved by Cretan artisans who read the natural contours of each piece before deciding how to shape it. This slow-made process takes hours, not minutes.

The finished piece is sanded by hand and sealed with a blend of organic olive oil and beeswax: no lacquers, no chemical coatings, no plastic. The result is a food-safe, naturally antibacterial surface that develops a richer patina with age.

We ship from Oshawa, Ontario to every province and territory in Canada. Orders are processed within 3 business days. Standard delivery typically takes 5 to 8 business days depending on your location.

Every order is carefully wrapped in recycled tissue paper and packed in a sturdy box with corner protection. Olive wood is dense and durable, but we take extra care to make sure it arrives exactly as it left our hands.

Tracking is included with every order. You will receive a confirmation email with your tracking number as soon as your package ships.

Not what you expected? No problem. We offer a full 60-day return window on all products. If you are not completely happy with your piece, contact us and we will arrange a return, no questions asked.

Because every piece is handcrafted and unique, slight variations in grain pattern, colour, and dimensions (up to 6 cm) are normal and not considered defects. That is the nature of real, hand-carved olive wood.

Hand wash only with mild soap. Dry immediately. Do not soak, and never put olive wood in the dishwasher. Stand upright to dry, never flat on a wet surface.

Re-oil every 1 to 2 months with food-grade mineral oil or olive oil. Apply a thin coat, let it soak in for 20 minutes, and wipe off the excess with a dry cloth.

For a deeper treatment, apply food-grade beeswax paste 2 to 3 times per year. This restores moisture and renews the natural sheen.
