    About this piece

    Meet the Olive Wood Multi-Purpose Cooking Spoon — a do-it-all, hand-carved kitchen utensil shaped from sustainably sourced Mediterranean olive wood on the Greek island of Lesvos. The deep, hand-carved bowl scoops sauces, stews, and grains in confident motions, while the blunt scraping tip is built to lift stuck-on food, deglaze pans, and clean the corners of pots. One spoon for cooking, serving, and scraping. Smooth-sanded and finished with our care balm, it glides across non-stick cookware without scratching. Olive wood is naturally dense, water-resistant, and beautifully grained — every spoon carries its own swirl of honey, amber, and chocolate tones, so no two are alike. Each piece is carved by a refugee artisan rebuilding their life through fair, steady work. Buying one helps fund a livelihood, not just a sale.

    The story

    This spoon began as a branch of a wild olive tree on the island of Lesvos — the same island where, a few years ago, our makers arrived by boat with little more than the clothes on their backs. Today they spend their days in a small workshop, carving olive wood into utensils sold around the world. Every piece is signed by the hand that made it and traceable back to its maker by QR code. When you cook with this spoon, you're holding a small piece of that story — Greek olive groves, refugee craftsmanship, and the slow, deliberate work of rebuilding a life one piece at a time.

    • Love it! Would definitely recommend.

    • This isn’t just a spoon—it’s a story, carved in olive wood and steeped in old-world care. From the moment I held it, I felt the weight of craftsmanship and heart. It’s beautifully smooth, richly grained, and perfectly balanced for long, slow stirs. I’ve claimed it as my Sunday Sauce Spoon—the one that simmers with tomatoes and memory. It feels sacred, almost ancestral, as if it already knows the rhythm of the pot. You can tell it was made with pride, not in a factory, but by hands that honor the tree it came from. The included Greek recipe cards were such a thoughtful touch. This spoon lives on my counter now, like an heirloom in progress. Note: Read the measurements carefully—this is a full-size cooking spoon, not a tasting one. The size, curve, and comfort in hand are all superb. A worthy kitchen companion.

    Frequently asked

    Hand wash only, with mild soap and warm water — never soak or place in the dishwasher. Towel dry immediately and let it air dry fully before storing. Every 1–2 months (or whenever the wood looks dry), rub a thin coat of food-safe mineral oil or olive oil or care balm into the spoon with a soft cloth, let it absorb overnight, then wipe off any excess. With this simple ritual, your spoon will stay smooth, water-resistant, and beautiful for decades.

    Each piece is carved one at a time from a single block of olive wood, so grain pattern, color and shape will vary slightly. That's part of what makes yours one of a kind.

    Every utensil is hand-carved on the Greek island of Lesvos by refugee artisans we work with directly. Meet the makers.
