Why use wood spoons versus plastic or metal?
Wood utensils have been preferred by chefs around the world for centuries. Here are the most important reasons:
- Wood won’t change the taste of acidic foods like tomato sauce the way metal utensils can.
- If you're making candy or something sensitive to sudden temperature changes, you're not going to cause unexpected crystallization by putting in a tool that will suck heat out of part of your dish
- You can leave wooden spoons in the pot and they won’t melt or get too hot to handle.
- Wooden spoons go from cast-iron to non-stick to stainless pans without fear of scratching
- Wooden utensils can stir thick things without breaking, and can scrape off of the bottom of pans.
- It's wood! This means that the utensils look nice in the kitchen and feel nice in the hand. For those who went through classical training or cooked with Mom, there's a good chance that they learned to cook with wooden spoons, so there's familiarity and a bit of nostalgia.
Sustainable Wood Sourcing & Care for Your Wooden Kitchenware
Ecologically Responsible Wood: French & Italian Forests
Our commitment to the environment begins with our wood sourcing. All wood harvested from France and Italy adheres to the stringent regulations set forth by the French Government regarding responsible forestry practices. These regulations ensure that harvesting is conducted sustainably, allowing for natural regeneration and the long-term health of the forests.
The Natural Hygiene of Wood: Debunking Bacteria Myths
Despite common misconceptions, wood is a remarkably sanitary material for kitchen tools – often more so than synthetic alternatives like plastic. Trees possess natural defenses against infection, bacteria, and mold. Even after being harvested, wood retains these properties, making it naturally resistant to the growth of harmful microorganisms. This inherent antibacterial nature makes wooden tools a safe and reliable choice for your kitchen.
Simple Care for Lasting Beauty: Wooden Spoons & Cutting Boards
Maintaining your wooden spoons and cutting boards is straightforward. Simply hand-wash them with warm, soapy water and allow them to air dry thoroughly. Over time, your wooden tools will naturally "season" themselves as they come into contact with various cooking oils.
Enhancing Longevity: The Benefits of Periodic Oiling
To keep your wooden spoons and cutting boards looking their best and prevent them from drying out or developing a fuzzy texture, consider periodic oiling. Use a food-safe mineral oil, butcher block oil (such as Goddard's), or a beeswax compound. Avoid using vegetable-based oils like olive oil, as these can become rancid over time. For minor stains or roughness, gently rub the affected area with fine-grit sandpaper.
Wood Finish: Natural Beech & Protected Olivewood
Our olivewood products are treated with a food-safe lacquered finish, providing an extra layer of protection and enhancing their natural beauty. In contrast, our French beechwood is left untreated, allowing you to decide whether and how you wish to season it based on your preferences and usage.
Stain & Odor Resistance: The Characteristics of Beech & Olivewood
French beechwood, with its light, blond appearance, will naturally develop a patina and may absorb some food coloring over time – this is a normal characteristic of the wood. Olivewood, known for its exceptional hardness, is highly resistant to staining. With proper washing, any food odors absorbed during cooking or mixing should dissipate effectively from both beechwood and olivewood.
