The board is handcrafted from olive wood, which is known for being a very hard and durable wood. It is often used as a cheese or charcuterie board due to its generous size and beautiful live edge and wood grain. The olive wood products from Trader Joe's are made from aged olive trees in Tunisia that no longer produce fruit, in a spirit of sustainability and craftsmanship. These boards are a popular seasonal item at Trader Joe's and tend to sell out quickly. Care instructions typically recommend hand-washing only, as dishwashers can be harmful to the wood. It is also suggested to periodically condition the board with olive oil or mineral oil to maintain its appearance and longevity. 13" long; 6" wide and 0.5" - 0.75" thick.
