Berard Olivewood XL Salad Bowl / Limited Edition

An extremely rare, one-of-a-kind large olivewood salad bowl that’s both beautiful and functional, made from sustainably sourced wood.

—DETAILS—

Only old (and very rare) olive trees are wide enough to yield enough wood to make large bowls like this one from Brard, which is spun from a single piece of olivewood. Since 1892, Brard has specialised in wooden products for the kitchen and table, with a special focus on wood sourced from olive trees around the Mediterranean that no longer bear fruit. Olivewood is known for its warm hue and strong contrasting grain pattern, as well as its density. Olivewood’s density and tight grain structure makes it very durable and especially resistant to stains and odours.This olivewood bowl featuring a stark, caramel grain pattern can be used to serve salad or as a fruit bowl, adding rustic charm to any table. Due to its uniqueness, no two olivewood pieces are alike.

To keep this bowl looking as good as new for a lifetime of use just as you should for any other wood product rub the bowl with food-safe mineral oil or Berard Wood Butter every time you notice the surface looking dull. (For more on caring for wooden products, click here.)

—BENEFITS— ‘We brought in this extra-large 44cm diameter bowl (with a generous height of 15cm) because it is unique. The scarcity of raw olivewood in this size for tableware production makes it an exceptional piece. We only have one of these bowls in stock.’
