AARVEN White Batik Bone Handle Salad Servers
Unique hand-carved wooden spatula with decorative handle. AARVEN’s spatula was crafted in Kenya using sustainable wild olive wood. Its thin, subtle curve makes it excellent for flipping pancakes and eggs, as it easily slides beneath the food.
Unlike metal spatulas, wild olive wood will not damage non-stick pans, and will not transfer heat. The wood has natural antibacterial properties and is stain resistant.
Its creative handle was carved by our artisan friends in Kenya, giving it an authentic African touch. Cooking utensils have never been more sustainable and stylish.
AARVEN's contemporary wooden products are hand carved in a Nairobi workshop run by one of the founders of the popular Maasai Market in Westlands, Zephania.
These items are made from Wild Olive wood that is all sustainably sourced from Zephania’s own plantations in his hometown, Kissi, where he continually re-plants trees.

Olive wood has an excellent reputation for being harder and less porous than other woods. We recommend hand washing your wooden utensils with a mild washing up liquid and warm water. Avoid boiling water and dishwashers as high temperatures may cause the wood to expand and split. Always towel dry after washing to prevent moisture cracks.
Treat your handmade wooden utensils once a month with a food safe mineral oil (we like to use olive oil). Simply rub in a small amount with a soft cloth to condition the wood and restore its warm, polished look.
*The same measures apply to wooden utensils with horn or bone accents.
