Some of the nicest kitchen pieces are the ones you reach for without thinking. This salt keeper is hand-carved from a single piece of olive wood, polished smooth, and marked with the swirling golden grain olive wood is loved for. Leave it by the stove for a pinch of flaky salt as you cook, or set it on the table for Sunday supper.

Why You'll Love It
The lid keeps dust out and seasonings close at hand, and the warm wood tones sit well next to linen, stoneware and a well-worn cutting board. It's a small everyday luxury and a lovely housewarming gift for anyone who loves to cook.
Care
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry right away. Don't soak it or put it in the dishwasher. Rub in a little food-safe mineral oil now and then to keep the wood rich and protected.
