Soaking

How should I wash it?
Hand wash only, with warm water and mild soap. Never use a dishwasher.
How should I dry it?
Dry it immediately with a towel — never let it air-dry sitting in water.
Does it need oiling?
Rub it once a month with food-grade mineral oil or a neutral olive oil to keep the wood from drying out.
Can I keep it near heat or sunlight?
Keep it away from direct heat, open flame, and long stretches of direct sunlight.
Why does the color or grain vary?
Small color and grain variation is natural — it's what makes an olive wood piece one of a kind, not a flaw.
