Cutting Board Conditioner

The Olive of Morganton Olive Wood & Skin Balm

Most wood conditioners are petroleum based, synthetic, or made with cheap generic oils that do the job without any real story behind them. Ours is different in every way. Hand crafted right here at The Olive of Morganton, this small batch balm combines just two extraordinary ingredients — premium Spanish Picual extra virgin olive oil and locally sourced beeswax — into a pure, simple, and genuinely beautiful product that conditions, protects, and nourishes anything it touches.

Picual is one of Spain's most prized olive varieties, known for its exceptional stability, high polyphenol content, and rich, smooth character. Paired with pure local beeswax, it creates a balm that penetrates deep into wood grain, repelling moisture, preventing cracking, and restoring the warm natural luster that makes olive wood so beautiful. One small tin lasts approximately six months of monthly treatments — enough to keep your entire olive wood collection looking extraordinary all year long.

But here's the thing — it works just as beautifully on skin. The same two ingredients that protect and nourish wood have been soothing dry, cracked hands and skin for centuries. Completely food safe, completely natural, and free of synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or additives. Just olive oil and beeswax, exactly as nature intended.

Perfect for conditioning:

• Our Tunisian Olive Wood Salt and Pepper Mills
• Our Olive Wood Serving Platter
• Our Olive Wood Spice Jar and Bowl Jar
• Our Olive Wood Rolling Pin and Citrus Juicer
• Cutting boards, wooden utensils, and wooden bowls
• Any wooden kitchen surface that deserves proper care

Perfect for skin:

• Dry or cracked hands — especially in winter
• Cuticle and nail care
• Dry elbows, heels, or lips
• A natural alternative to petroleum based skin balms

How to use on wood: Apply a small amount with a soft cloth in the direction of the grain, allow to absorb for several minutes, then buff gently with a clean cloth. Repeat monthly for best results.

Made in small batches at The Olive of Morganton with Spanish Picual EVOO and locally sourced beeswax. No synthetic ingredients. No shortcuts. Just two extraordinary ingredients doing exactly what they've always done.
