Every piece has its own unique place in the beautiful worlds we call our own homes. The Cleminson brand was founded to bring the simple rustic charm to the kitchens and dining rooms of ourselves, and gifted to the people we love.
We believe that food is a part of our cultural identities. A meal is not just a meal. It is an event. A chance to prepare it lovingly with high quality ingredients, to serve it with our beloved friends, to savour the beautiful tastes and textures. Excellent food deserves excellent kitchen and dining ware.
When you buy a piece of Cleminson olive wood, you are buying a sustainable piece of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Lifestyle of the past, the present, and the yet-to-come. Look after your olive wood. Wash by hand only and treat regularly with a light coating of olive oil. Olive wood will always naturally stand the test of time.
Each and every piece of our olive wood tells a story. Through the grain and texture of the wood of slowly-grown olive trees, each piece tells a story of the farmers of previous generations planting the trees long before motorised tractors, of the juicy olives picked and enjoyed for many decades, of the reincarnation of the non-fruiting olive tree into a piece of kitchenware, and of the sustainable re-planting of new trees for the benefit of future generations who will come long after we are gone.
All of our olive wood is sourced from orchards which comply with strict Tunisian laws governing the olive tree industry, which is a large part of their economy. Under Tunisian law, it is illegal to chop down an olive tree which is still fruiting, and for every tree chopped down, a new one must be planted. Whilst the olive wood can be sourced from different orchards, we ensure that our wood complies with Tunisia’s laws, guaranteeing sustainability and high environmental standards.
Yes, they can be engraved. It’s not a service that we offer but the wood is suitable for engraving. We have had customers send photographs of their own engraved boards in the past.
