Berard 66475 French Olive-Wood Handcrafted Curved Spatula
Made in France from a single piece of the finest olive wood, this handcrafted spatula offers original beauty (no two are identical) and exceptional convenience in the kitchen. The gently curved spatula provides a long handle and a rectangular-shaped head that works well for flipping pancakes, slipping under food, and transporting food to a plate or serving platter. The use of wood not only brings the beauty of nature indoors, but it has also been found to be more hygienic than plastic. Furthermore, out of respect for the environment, the particular olive wood used by Berard comes from sustainably managed forests, so the spatula can be enjoyed for years to come and with peace of mind. The unit features a lovely satin finish, made up of a combination of mineral oil and beeswax, which protects the wood and offers added strength and resilience. Safe to use with all cookware, the spatula measures approximately 12-1/2 by 2-4/5 by 1/5 inches and should be hand washed only and dried thoroughly.From the ManufacturerBerard is located in the mountains of Royans, which border the northern edge of Provence in France.Since 1892, Berard has specialized in creating kitchen products from carefully selected woods such as beechwood, boxwood and olivewood.
