How to Care for Your Olive Wood Products: Quick and Easy Tips

How to Care for Your Olive Wood Products: Quick and Easy Tips

Olive wood is special. Every piece is one-of-a-kind, and it can add a real touch of class to your kitchen or home decor. But, like anything nice, it needs a little love to keep looking its best. Don’t worry, though—it’s super easy! I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to keep your olive wood items looking great for years.

Why Olive Wood Needs a Bit of Extra Care

Olive wood isn’t like other woods. It’s natural, with no synthetic coatings, especially when it comes from brands like ArtisRaw. We just use beeswax and oil to keep the wood protected and beautiful. But because it’s so natural, it needs a little regular attention to stay that way. Trust me—it’s worth it!

Simple Tips to Keep Your Olive Wood in Great Shape

  1. Keep It Hydrated: Just like your skin, olive wood can dry out over time. Every once in a while, rub a little beeswax or oil into it. If you notice the wood looking a little dull or dry, that’s your signal. Don’t wait too long!
  2. Always Hand Wash: This is key—don’t even think about putting olive wood in the dishwasher. Stick to washing it by hand with warm, soapy water. Dishwashers and microwaves will ruin it!
  3. Dry It Right: After washing, give it a quick towel dry, then let it air dry completely. This will keep it from cracking or warping later on.
  4. Store it Wisely: Avoid keeping your olive wood in direct sunlight or near heat sources. A cool, dry spot is perfect. Too much heat or moisture, and the wood could start to warp or crack.

When It Needs a Deeper Clean

  1. Wipe it Down: After using it, make sure to wipe away any leftover food with a soft cloth. It’s easy and helps keep things clean.
  2. Be Gentle: If there’s food stuck on, don’t scrape it with anything sharp! Use a soft scraper or your fingers to avoid scratching the wood.
  3. Use Mild Soap: A little soap and water is all you need. Rinse it well and dry it right after. No need to get fancy here.
  4. Disinfect the Natural Way: To give it a good clean, mix up some vinegar and water. Lightly spritz it on the wood, wipe it down, and you’re good to go.
  5. Stains? No Problem: If there are any stubborn stains, make a paste with some baking soda, salt, and water. Scrub gently, rinse, and dry thoroughly.

How to Keep the Finish Looking Beautiful

  1. Start Clean and Dry: Before applying anything, make sure your olive wood is clean and dry. Otherwise, you won’t get that nice finish you’re after.
  2. Rub It In: Use a soft cloth to rub in some beeswax or oil, moving in circles. Be sure to get it all over!
  3. Let It Absorb: Once the oil or wax is on, let the wood absorb it for a few hours, or even overnight if you can.
  4. Buff It to Shine: After it’s absorbed, grab a clean cloth and buff it out to reveal that beautiful, natural shine.

A Few Extra Tips

  • Don’t Soak It: Too much water isn’t good for olive wood. Keep it dry when possible, and definitely avoid leaving it soaking in water.
  • Stay Away from Heat: Extreme heat can cause cracks—so don’t leave it near the stove or heater.
  • Go Easy on the Wax: A little bit of wax or oil goes a long way. You don’t need to overdo it.
  • Watch Out for Acidic Foods: Foods like lemon or tomatoes can stain the wood if they sit on it for too long, so wipe them off quickly.

Taking care of olive wood is pretty simple, and it’ll keep your pieces looking amazing for years. With just a little attention every now and then, you’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of olive wood in your home for a long time. Happy caring!

ASD Market Week: Unveiling ‘Elixir’ and Celebrating Tunisian Craftsmanship

ASD Market Week: Unveiling ‘Elixir’ and Celebrating Tunisian Craftsmanship

Las Vegas Comes Alive: A Memorable Presence at ASD Market Week

The Las Vegas Convention Center was abuzz this August, despite the storm clouds overhead. Even as gusty winds and rain lashed the city, inside the convention center, it was all about business, networking, and discovery. Within this dynamic environment was our booth, W11930, located strategically in the West Hall’s Gourmet and Gift Section. The storm outside seemed to do little to dampen the spirits of attendees. Many people walked around and came to our booth, drawn by what Tunisian products looked like.

 

Big Deals and Bigger Opportunities

Three days might seem like a short span. Yet, when at ASD Market Week, every moment counts. Over these days, we achieved significant milestones. We successfully closed deals with three major U.S. distributors. These weren’t just agreements on paper but a testament to the potential and quality of our products. Yet, that was just the tip of the iceberg. The number of inquiries we receiving was impressive. Each query represented a potential partnership, a new market, or an opportunity to further our brand’s reach. While these are currently under evaluation, the interest they signify is undeniable. To top it off, the visit from our partner in Houston highlighted the day. Their presence was a nod to our shared goals and mutual growth in the industry.

 

Elixir: Our New Special Brand

One could argue that the most shining moment of our participation was the introduction of “Elixir,” our latest olive oil brand. Handcrafted and embodying the essence of Tunisia, “Elixir” reflects the efforts of dedicated farmers, and the history and impact of a rich heritage. Those who sampled it enjoyed its natural taste, aroma, and authenticity. The reactions were unanimous: it was a hit. But alongside “Elixir”, our range of products, all handmade from Tunisia’s natural raw materials, also caught the eye. Be it the texture, the design, or the story behind each product, attendees were keen to learn, understand, and, most importantly, be a part of the narrative.

 

As the event concluded, it was clear that our participation at the ASD Market Week wasn’t just about showcasing products. It was about forging relationships, understanding market dynamics, and reinforcing our commitment to quality and authenticity. The storm outside might have been fierce, but inside, the energy, enthusiasm, and business spirit were unyielding.

 

Conclusion

In retrospect, we wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone—partners, visitors, and the ASD team. Your interest, feedback, and belief in our products reinforce our purpose. As we look ahead, these three days serve as a reminder of our journey so far and the exciting path that lies ahead. Here’s to many more events, connections, and stories in the future.
