All olive wood products of Visit the Forest are natural logs. They have been soaked in maintenance oil before shipment and have a Wax color. Therefore, it is normal for the color to become lighter after the first few cleanings and wiping. The natural color can be restored after oiling maintenance. 2. When olive wood products are cleaned for the first few times, a light yellowish-brown natural substance or maintenance oil may be rinsed/wiped out. This is a natural phenomenon, so please use it with confidence. 3. When cleaning, rinse with warm or cold water and use soft cleaning tools; after cleaning, wipe off any remaining moisture and place in a ventilated place to dry naturally before storing. 4. If the product has a fishy smell, you can scrub it with cold water and white vinegar, then rinse it clean. 5. If there is a concern about staining (for example, steak), you can use baking soda water to scrub it, and then wipe the stained area with a rag or brush. 6. Do not expose to direct sunlight or place in a humid environment or an environment with rapid temperature changes. 7. Do not put it in the dishwasher, dishwasher or oven. 8. Regular maintenance: It is recommended to use food-grade wood maintenance oil or natural beeswax to apply to the surface of the product every month to maintain its natural luster. ┃Notes┃ 1. Olive wood products are all-natural wood and are hand-cut from a single piece. In order to find the applicability of each piece of wood and the most beautiful angle of the surface wood grain, the size of the cut will vary slightly. Because the entire piece of solid wood is handmade, tiny wood grain and cracks are the most natural guarantee. A few products will have treated veneer and knots on the edges. 2. No matter how high-quality the wood is, it may become moldy if it is soaked in water for a long time or cannot be dried. Wood will bleach if exposed to sunlight for a long time. Therefore, we store olive wood products indoors. There are slight differences in size, weight, thickness and pattern between each product because it is not a product pressed by a machine, and you can see the beautiful appearance of wood knots and natural corrosion holes. 3. Due to the material characteristics of wooden products, wood glue and wood powder are used to fill cracks to protect the product. The filling range shall not exceed 5% of the total. Olive Wood Q&A Q: Do you make it from a whole piece of wood? A: We strive to ensure that all our products are made from a single piece of wood. If a product is not made from a single piece of wood due to design, we will definitely mark it as such! Please also take note! Q: Do you have any recommended maintenance oils? A: Before shipping, we apply a coat of wood kitchenware maintenance oil (NSF-3H certified food-grade mineral oil). *Food-grade mineral oil and natural beeswax are recommended as maintenance oils. However, please remember not to use olive oil on olive wood products, as it can cause them to develop a rancid or oily odor. Q: Why does my olive wood product feel greasy and even the wrapping paper has some oily marks? A: All olive wood products at Forest Farm are cleaned with maintenance oil before shipment. Therefore, it's normal for your product to feel oily. All olive wood products are carefully wrapped to prevent the oil from accumulating on the wrapping paper. If some oil accumulating on the wrapping paper is a safety concern, please rest assured and we apologize for any inconvenience. Q: Why is the color completely different after I wash and dry it after using it for the first time? A: Of course it will be different! Each wash will remove the maintenance oil, so the color will not be the original beeswax color. Restoring the color is quite simple. In addition to the recommended monthly maintenance, you can apply a thin layer of maintenance oil after the product is dry to maintain its color. Q: Can an olive wood chopping board be used to chop large amounts of meat and fish? A: Of course you can! Just use it the same way as you would a traditional dip board! Q: Does olive wood have an expiration date? A: A properly cared-for piece of olive wood can last for decades. It won't fall apart if unjointed, and it won't peel if unpainted. Even if it has a lot of knife marks, a basic sanding and refinishing will keep it usable. However, for food safety reasons, we strongly recommend using separate cutting boards for raw and cooked food. This is the healthiest, long-term solution.
