Product Story

This isn't just a salt pot—it's a piece of Kenyan farmland transformed into functional art. Carved from olive wood stumps unearthed during field preparation, each keeper tells the story of soil, seasons, and skilled hands. No factory molds, no assembly lines—just farmers-turned-artisans who shape these organic treasures during quiet moments between harvests. The wood grain speaks of decades under African sun, while the smooth curves fit perfectly in your palm. Every keeper is wonderfully different, carrying the character of its original tree. Use it for finishing salt, spices, or simply as a reminder that the most beautiful objects come from the earth itself.

Know Your Piece

Origin & Maker

Hand-carved by farm workers in Central Kenya who transform discarded olive wood stumps into functional art for supplemental income. Each piece showcases traditional wood-carving techniques passed down through generations, with natural variations that reflect the unique grain and character of reclaimed olive wood.

Styling Ideas

Perfect for your kitchen counter as a finishing salt keeper, or style it on your dining table for entertaining. Place it alongside other natural textures like linen napkins and ceramic dishes. Use it to serve coarse sea salt, flavored salts, or even small amounts of spices. The warm wood tones complement both rustic farmhouse and modern minimalist aesthetics beautifully.

Impact & Sustainability

By repurposing olive wood stumps that would otherwise be burned or discarded during field clearing, each salt keeper gives new life to agricultural waste. This creates additional income for farming communities while celebrating traditional woodworking skills. The natural, biodegradable material requires no synthetic processing or harmful chemicals.

Shipping & Returns

Ships within 2 business days from our partner workshop or nearby stock. Returns accepted within 60 days of delivery. Please note: natural variations in wood grain, size, and color are part of the handcrafted nature of this item. Each piece is slightly different and intentionally so—no two olive wood salt keepers are ever identical.
