This beautiful olive wood rolling pin measures approx. 16″ in length. A very hard wood, olive wood is the perfect material for a rolling pin. Beautifully smooth, it sits comfortably in your hands and looks stunning. As olive wood is a very dense wood, with a very close grain it will not disintegrate at all, and will not take on any liquids or smells from the food, nor will it transfer anything from the wood to the food. Maintenance of your olive wood utensils: Olive wood will last a lifetime if it is properly looked after. To keep your olive wood products looking their best please follow this advice: Hand wash only, not suitable for dishwashers. Occasionally coat with olive oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Do not leave soaking in water or exposed to heat or sunshine.
