Olive Wood Spurtle

A spurtle is a traditional Scottish kitchen tool designed with a flat, elongated shape rather than a deep bowl. This design makes it significantly more efficient for scraping the sides of pots, stirring thick sauces, and flipping ingredients compared to a traditional spoon.

Yes, the olive wood is gentle and will not scratch or damage non-stick, ceramic, or enameled cast iron surfaces. It is a safe, non-abrasive alternative to metal utensils.

Hand wash the spurtle with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent it from drying out, periodically rub it with a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner.

No, you should avoid the dishwasher. Even with nonporous wood, the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can cause the wood to warp, crack, or lose its natural finish over time.

Olive wood is naturally dense and nonporous, which makes it highly resistant to absorbing food odors, stains, and bacteria. It is a more hygienic choice than many softer woods.

Each spurtle is carved from a single piece of natural olive wood, meaning every item features a unique grain pattern and color variation. The piece you receive will be one-of-a-kind, reflecting the natural character of the wood.
