OLIVIKO olive wood salt and pepper mills combine the beauty of handcrafted Mediterranean olive wood with the precision of CrushGrind ceramic grinding mechanisms — the gold standard in pepper mill technology.

Why OLIVIKO Salt and Pepper Mills?

Most pepper mills use steel grinding mechanisms that can corrode and affect the flavour of your spices. OLIVIKO mills use the CrushGrind ceramic mechanism — it never rusts, never affects flavour, and grinds consistently from coarse to fine for years without dulling.

• CrushGrind ceramic mechanism — adjustable grind, never rusts, outlasts steel
• Handcrafted olive wood body — solid Mediterranean wood, no two alike
• Food-safe — natural wood, no chemical finishes inside the mill
• Available in multiple sizes — 7-inch and 9-inch options
• Works for salt, pepper, and spices — versatile everyday use

CrushGrind Ceramic Mechanism — Why It Matters

The CrushGrind mechanism is a Danish-engineered ceramic grinder built for precision and longevity. Unlike traditional steel burr grinders, ceramic does not corrode when used with salt, maintains a consistent grind size, and produces no metallic flavour transfer. It is the preferred mechanism for professional chefs and discerning home cooks worldwide.

Available Sizes

• 7-inch salt or pepper grinder — ideal for everyday tabletop use
• 9-inch salt and pepper grinder set — perfect for cooking and entertaining

How to Care for Olive Wood Mills

• Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth — do not submerge in water
• Oil the outside with food-grade mineral oil occasionally to maintain the wood
• Never put in the dishwasher
• Refill with whole peppercorns or coarse sea salt

Frequently Asked Questions

What mechanism do OLIVIKO mills use?
All OLIVIKO salt and pepper mills use the CrushGrind ceramic mechanism — a Danish-engineered ceramic grinder known for precision, durability, and zero flavour transfer.

Can I use the pepper mill for salt?
The mills are designed specifically for either salt or pepper. Using salt in a pepper grinder can damage steel mechanisms, but the CrushGrind ceramic mechanism handles salt perfectly with no corrosion.

How do I adjust the grind size?
Turn the knob at the top of the mill — clockwise for finer grind, counterclockwise for coarser. The CrushGrind mechanism gives you precise control from coarse cracked pepper to fine powder.
