bowl made of Italian Taggiasca olive

Short description:

This bowl made of Taggiasca olive wood is characterized by its curved shape and a distinctive natural edge. The wood comes from a friend's firewood pile in Badalucco, Italy, and was partially attacked by insects there, which gave the wood a special structure and unique character. The bowl has a diameter of approx. 18 cm and reaches a height of approx. 11.5 cm at its highest point.

Material:

The Taggiasca olive comes from Liguria, northern Italy, and is characterized by its mild fruity aroma and high oil content. This olive variety is often used to make olive oil and is known for its delicate flavor with a slight sweetness and bitterness.

The wood of the Taggiasca olive tree is hard, dense and extremely durable. It has an attractive wavy grain that ranges in color from light yellow to dark brown. Due to its strength and natural resistance to pests, olive wood is often used for high-quality furniture, kitchen utensils and handicrafts. The warm, elegant look makes it a sought-after material in woodworking, especially for smaller objects such as bowls, cutting boards or decorative pieces.
