Acaciaware
Handcrafted from one solid piece of acacia hardwood. Each nut, dipping and salad bowl has its own unique look with a naturally colored wood grain. Each piece is like its own work of sculptured art!
Acaciaware is made from acacia wood which is a hard wood with a tight grain. This superior material makes our wooden serving bowls resistant to water penetration, stain resistant and they will not pick up odors.
Completely food-safe for both hot and cold appetizers or entrees. A food-safe finish makes our acacia wooden bowls more durable and long-lasting than bamboo bowls, or other glued and pieced-together woodenware that can fall apart with use or run through the dishwasher by accident.
Acaciaware is easy care! Simply wash the item with warm soapy water and air dry. Not microwave or dishwasher safe.
Trust genuine Acaciaware as responsibly forested. That means that our wood is harvested from healthy forests and is done so in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Acaciaware can handle moderate heat but cannot withstand hot pans or baking dishes taken directly from the oven. Acacia wood is not dishwasher or microwave safe.
