olive wood utensils

Common types include spoons (stirring, cooking, tasting), turners (solid and perforated/slotted), ladles, spoonulas (spatula–spoon hybrids), spatulas, and serving forks.

Perforated or slotted turners have carved slots or holes that let excess oils, juices, and fats drain away when lifting or flipping foods.

Listings describe olive wood as naturally dense and water-resistant, qualities that help repel stains, moisture, and lingering food odors.

Handles are described as smooth, comfortable, and ergonomic, offering a sturdy grip and enough reach to keep hands away from heat while cooking.

Common overall lengths are about 11.8 to 14 inches, with several individual spoons listed at approximately 12.5 inches.

Care notes most often recommend hand washing only; some listings also advise applying a thin layer of oil occasionally to maintain the wood's texture and finish.

Head widths are typically about 2.25 to 3 inches, head lengths about 3.5 to 4.6 inches, and handle lengths generally around 8 to 8.3 inches.
