The Olive Press Olive Wood Sushi Plate

Olive wood is naturally dense and durable, but it is a living material. To prevent warping or cracking, avoid soaking it in water and apply a food-safe mineral oil occasionally to keep the wood hydrated and supple.

No, this plate is not oven or microwave safe. High heat can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or warp. It is best suited for room-temperature or chilled foods like sushi, cheese, or charcuterie.

Olive wood has a tight grain that is naturally resistant to odors and stains. However, because it is a porous natural material, it is best to wipe it clean immediately after use rather than letting acidic or oily foods sit on the surface for extended periods.

The plate features a relatively flat, rectangular surface designed for presentation. It does not have a raised rim or lip, so it is best used for items that are easy to pick up or arrange neatly.

Simply hand wash the plate with warm water and a mild dish soap, then dry it immediately with a soft towel. Never submerge it in water or put it in the dishwasher, as the heat and moisture will damage the wood.
