• Ukambani Woodworking Heritage: Hand-carved from sustainably harvested African wild olive wood (Olea africana) by skilled artisans in Ukambani, Eastern Kenya—a hub of world-class woodcraft traditions.

• Broad Paddle Head Design: Features a smooth, slightly flared oval blade that functions perfectly as a rice paddle, salad server, or pot-scraping spatula. Commonly known as mwiko wa kupika ugali.

• Cookware Friendly: Sanded to a silky, non-abrasive finish that protects sensitive surfaces like ceramic, cast iron, and non-stick cookware from scratches.

• Naturally Antibacterial & Heat-Resistant: African olive wood is ultra-dense and non-porous, making it naturally resistant to water absorption, high heat, staining, and lingering food odours.

• 100% Food-Safe & Organic: Conditioned exclusively with natural, food-grade mineral oil to bring out the wood’s soft grain and warm earth tones without chemical varnishes or lacquers.

Care Instructions:

• Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap; dry immediately with a clean towel.

• Do not soak in standing water or wash in a dishwasher.

• Apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil periodically to preserve the natural moisture and luster of the timber.
