Keep your cooking salt easily accessible yet away from household dust and ambient moisture as cooks have done since time immemorial. This olivewood salt cellar, also called a salt box, is handy in a pinch...um, handy FOR a pinch, that is. Two turned pieces of olivewood are joined with a single clever slide-away hinge which closes onto a small magnetic pin, which allows one-handed access. As with all natural products, you'll appreciate that individual pieces exhibit minute variations in size and shape, and sometimes show vivid differences in markings. Salt not included. Product Details Single piece construction for base with hinged second piece for the lid. Approximately 3.75" W x 2.5" H Approximate capacity 1/4 cup table salt or 2 oz crystal or flaked salt. Sustainably sourced olivewood Imported from North Africa Each piece is unique All olivewood is hand conditioned and buffed with wood butter to be gift ready prior to shipment from Corning California. Olivewood ships separately from olive oil and vinegar via UPS Ground. How to care for your olivewood Keep your olive wood in good condition. Please hand wash (do not soak) and hand dry. For maintenance, treat wood with mineral oil or wood butter. This will enhance the grain, seal the wood from moisture, and prevent cracking. We do not recommend using cooking oil for treatment because it will become rancid. Use the following links to read about the source of our olive wood and a recap of its care.
