OLIVIKO handcrafted olive wood cutting boards are made from a single solid piece of Mediterranean olive wood — no glue, no laminate, no chemicals. Just pure natural wood built for a lifetime in the kitchen.
Why Choose an Olive Wood Cutting Board?
Olive wood is one of the hardest, most durable woods available for cutting boards. Its natural density means it resists deep knife marks better than softer woods like maple or walnut. And unlike plastic or bamboo boards, olive wood is naturally antimicrobial — it resists bacteria without any synthetic treatment.

Our Cutting Board Sizes
OLIVIKO offers olive wood cutting boards in a range of sizes to suit every kitchen need — from compact chopping boards for daily use to large serving boards for entertaining. Available in rectangular and oval shapes, each board is sanded smooth and finished naturally.
Olive Wood Cutting Board vs. Bamboo vs. Plastic
Bamboo cutting boards are made from compressed fibres bound with adhesives that can break down over time. Plastic boards harbour bacteria in knife grooves and require replacement. Olive wood cutting boards are 100% natural, self-healing in light surface scratches, and improve in character with age and proper oiling.
How to Care for Your Olive Wood Cutting Board
- Hand wash only — never put in the dishwasher
- Dry immediately — do not soak or leave standing in water
- Oil with food-grade mineral oil every 4–6 weeks
- Store flat or upright — not on a damp surface
