ITALIAN OLIVEWOOD

• Common Name: Italian Olivewood
• Scientific Name: Olea Europea L.
• Family: Oleaceae
• Origin: Italy

Italian Olivewood is a masterpiece, a celebration of Italy and its cultural heritage. It is a genuine representation of our Peninsula, and it only grows in Mediterranean climate. The pattern of Italian Olivewood is unique, artistic and easily identifiable due to the irregular and multicolor veins which sets it apart from other veneers.

Sustainability guides our work and Italian Olivewood is the clear exemplification of that. To produce our veneers we only use the branches of trees that are too high for olive picking to preserve our environmental heritage. The trunk cut is only allowed when the tree isn’t able to produces olives anymore, it dies or for public construction projects.
