How you care for your olive wood products depends upon frequency of use.

Olive wood should be oiled to prevent it from dying out and kept at room temperature, avoiding hot rooms or direct sunlight where it might dry out.

Avoid using soap, as soap can dry out the wood. If your olive wood utensils ever become dry, apply a coat of oil to restore its lacking shine. Instead, use water, lemon juice or salt to clean your board.

Never place olive wood products in a microwave or dishwasher, and note that olive wood is not oven proof.
