Swissmar Salt Keeper

Yes, to keep the olive wood from drying out or cracking over time, you should occasionally treat it with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner. This helps preserve the wood's natural grain and prevents it from absorbing moisture or odors.

Absolutely. The split-compartment design is specifically intended for that purpose, allowing you to keep two different seasonings—like kosher salt and flaky sea salt, or salt and pepper—separated but easily accessible.

No, it is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher will cause the olive wood to warp, crack, or split. You should hand wash it with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately.

The total capacity is 8.8 ounces. Because it is split into two compartments, you can expect to fit roughly 4.4 ounces of salt or spice in each side, depending on the density of the grain.

This salt keeper features a swivel-style lid that sits flush against the base, but it is not an airtight seal. It is designed for easy, one-handed access while cooking rather than long-term, airtight storage.
