Amazon.com Product Description

Made in France from a single piece of the finest olive wood, this handcrafted cook's spoon offers original beauty (no two are identical) and exceptional convenience in the kitchen. The spoon's round head works well for stirring soup, mixing ingredients, and for keeping veggies moving in a hot-oil wok, while its long handle helps keep hands a safe distance from the heat. The all-purpose utensil features a lovely satin finish, made up of a combination of mineral oil and beeswax, which protects the wood and offers added strength and resilience. The use of wood not only brings the beauty of nature indoors, but it has also been found to be more hygienic than plastic. Furthermore, out of respect for the environment, the particular olive wood used by Berard comes from sustainably managed forests, so the spoon can be enjoyed for years to come and with peace of mind. Safe to use with all cookware, the cook's spoon measures approximately 11-4/5 by 2 by 1 inches and should be hand washed only and dried thoroughly after each use.

This review is from: Set of 3 Berard French Olive Wood Crafted Stew Spoons

My wife wanted wooden utensils for some non stick cookware. I got excessive and ordered 5 different types of high end spoons, forks, etc. These were the best of the best. Good shape. All three were carved so that the edge of the spoon is less vulnerable to splitting. Feel is good. Strong and light. Size is small to perfect, some others were too large. As the resident dishwasher, these spoons get used 5 times as often as the others.

This review is from: Berard 22574 French Olive-Wood Handcrafted Cook's Spoon, 12 Inch (Kitchen)

I have been using this spoon constantly throughout the past few weeks since I received it. I have nothing but good things to say about it. This is a very sturdy spoon. The "scoop" end is nice and thick; although these are handmade, they are shaped beautifully. The long handle is just the right length for tasks such as stirring pasta in a large pot. You have control, yet it keeps your hand just far enough from the hot water so you don't feel the heat. I have used the spoon to stir spaghetti sauce and it does not stain the spoon. I've used it to stir potato salad and other things that have a thick consistency and everything just rinses right off. It goes without saying that it does not scratch the surface of bowls or pots. When you receive the spoon, it is lightly oiled, but if you use it heavily, like I do, you'll be back to just wood without a shiny finish. The instructions say that you can lightly oil it if you wish. I haven't yet, but even so, there is no splitting or cracking and the wood grain of the olive wood is beautiful. You do have to hand wash it, but that's such a small consolation for such a great product. I plan on buying more of these.
