Kitchen Wood Conditioning Butter

We're pleased to present this formula for olivewood care so you can hydrate, restore, and protect the wood in your kitchen. We've obtained beeswax from our friendly beekeepers at Olivarez Chico Honey and emulsified it with food grade mineral oil over gentle heat to produce this lightly aromatic and somewhat fluid semi-solid "butter" to apply directly to your spoons, boards, and bowls to keep them in good condition without an overly waxy finish. The aroma is naturally occurring from the hives, and has a warm sweetness like honey and cedar that does not linger long. Why You Need This  Olivewood likely arrives to you dry. Our olivewood ships from the edge of the desert in central Tunisia, an arid climate good for living olive trees, but hard on the boards and tools those trees yield. Woodenware waits in a warehouse, then takes 14 or more days on the water in an ocean-going vessel, crosses the North American continent to me in California, and waits in another warehouse for your order.
