The Spirit of the Olive Tree: The Secret Story Behind Each Art Olive Masterpiece

For centuries, the olive tree has been more than just a tree. It has been a symbol of peace, wisdom, and longevity, carrying the stories of the generations who have cultivated and cherished it. At Art Olive, we transform this heritage into unique pieces, handcrafted with dedication and expertise. 

A Wood Steeped in History 

Our products are born in the Mediterranean olive groves, where centuries-old trees absorb the sun and the breeze. Each piece of wood tells a story: some are derived from old olive trees that no longer bear fruit, while others come from branches meticulously pruned to stimulate the tree's growth.

According to local custom, it is said that the olive tree contains the spirit of the past. Our artisans craft each piece with care, enhancing the raw materials and giving them a new lease of life as cutting boards, bowls, spoons, or decorative pieces.

Artisans, Guardians of Expertise

Each work hides a craftsman whose skills, passed down from generation to generation, reveal the natural elegance of olive wood. The task begins with the careful selection of the wood: each grain, each knot reveals a unique story.

Then, the process includes cutting, polishing, and the application of a natural olive oil treatment to preserve the wood while highlighting its natural patterns. Everything is carefully planned: each Art Oliv item is a unique piece, created with passion and consideration.
