Individual pieces made from a natural material.

Looking after charcuterie boards
For charcuterie boards, simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth after use and ensure they are thoroughly dried. Never place your wooden board in a dishwasher and avoid soaking it in water. To maintain its finish and nourish the wood, occasionally apply a food-safe wax (either plant based or beeswax). This simple routine will help preserve its beauty and give you years of use.
Maintaining decorative pieces and jewellery
Decorative pieces can be dusted with a soft, dry cloth, or a light mist of polish & buffing . Keep them away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight to prevent damage. It is also important to avoid exposing these items to excess moisture. For jewellery, store it in a dry place when not in use and avoid contact with water, perfumes, or harsh chemicals to protect its delicate finish.
