The story: The olive wood products are carved from wood that must be dried for at least a year before using. Traditionally the wood comes from the pruning the trees, ensuring environmental sustainability. By purchasing this item you will help the artisanal work to continue in the area and you will also support “Keep Hope Alive”, an olive tree planting project coordinated by the YMCA.
