How often should I oil the olivewood handle?
It is recommended to oil the olivewood handle regularly, especially if it appears dry or is kept in a dry environment, to maintain its rich appearance.
What are the dimensions of the grater?
The grater measures approximately 19.5cm in length, 7cm in width, and 6cm in height.
Will my grater look exactly like the picture?
Due to the handmade nature and natural variations in olivewood, each grater will have unique grain patterns and slight shape differences, making it one-of-a-kind.
Can I grate hard vegetables with this?
This grater is best suited for nutmeg and hard cheeses. It is not designed for grating harder vegetables.
Troubleshooting
Olivewood handle appears dry or dull.
Apply a food-safe wood care oil to the handle and buff gently. Repeat as needed, especially in dry climates.
Grater is not removing enough spice/cheese.
Ensure the stainless steel grater is properly seated in the olivewood base. Check that you are using a firm grip and consistent pressure.
Wood handle has a slight imperfection.
This is normal for handmade items. Minor variations in shape and grain are characteristic of natural olivewood and do not affect functionality.
