Naturally Med - 12" Olive Wood Soup Ladle - Wooden Cooking Spoon, Gravy Ladle. For Cooking, Serving, Stirring. Handcrafted of Olive Wood

After searching for large wooden ladles, for a long time, we found this product. Since purchase, it has been a revolutionary and integral part of our kitchen--for some reason, only plastic and metal ladles are widely available, not wooden ones. It has: - a very high quality and shows great craftsmanship, - beautiful natural wood patterns, - a uni-body solid wood design that holds up to differing temperatures quite well. We do suggest rinsing immediately after use, so that it can be washed by hand, without any dried food stuck on it. Of course, leaving it in liquids or very sudden changes of temperature will result in cracking at some point, since it is made of one solid piece of wood. They do make a very important and unique product, which we also use and love: wooden serving/cooking ladles, which are a perfect fit for a scratch-free soup/stew cooking/serving experience. Dealing with Naturally Med, as a company, was also very pleasant. They do make other great products.

Very nice looking, probably won’t use because they look so nice as is.

This olive wood ladle is really top quality wonderful! Love it!

We decided to replace all of the plastic utensils in our kitchen with wood or bamboo due to concerns about unhealthy chemicals leaching into our food. After much searching, found this well-designed olive wood ladle. It fits comfortably in hand, is easy on our glass cookware and looks great in our kitchen. This ladle holds a decent amount and is just the thing for dishing up soup, chili or anything else that a big spoon can't handle. We purchased ours from Naturally Med in the U.K. through Amazon (listing found under "More buying choices") because their price, including shipping was substantially cheaper than the other seller. Only took six days to arrive from the U.K. Customer service at Naturally Med is excellent. The first ladle we received was nice but had a flaw. We contacted Naturally Med and they quickly shipped a perfect replacement. We have used the ladle many times and are very happy with both its appearance and function. In fact we like it so much my wife was been making dishes that require a ladle to serve just to have a reason to use it!

It looks exactly as I hoped, but when I tried to taste some oatmeal out of it the wood was so nasty that I don't even use it anymore. I don't think it was sealed at all, so I need to buy a food grade wood sealant. That said, I think once it is sealed it will be awesome. It is a very beautiful wood.

Arrived cracked! Looks beautiful and long-lasting otherwise, but should not have been shipped with a crack.

I really love this olive wood ladle, it's a great size! It is well made and a great tool that can be used in the kitchen as well as for serving. I have another that is a bit too big and clunky.......

I love these olive wood ladles and this one is well made and a larger one. Nice marbling on the wood although sometimes you don't always get that with olive wood. Do not put them in the dishwasher obviously and just be careful not to drop it on the floor the wood will crack or split, which is what happened to my last one. BUT that was my fault. Overall you can't go wrong with wooden spoons they are durable and won't scratch teflon pants. Love the large ladles for soups, stews, sauces, etc.

All i can say is WOW. Absolutly stunning. A very suitbale size Ladel will hold a real good ladel full. All finished so perfectly, lovely and smooth no lumps or anything that would need to be rectified by myself. Also love the guide that comes with it so you can get a lifetime use from it. I will be adding to this collection when the money allows so that i have this full set of delightful tols ! Have fallen in love with this product as soon as i opened it. Will be used daily and looked after with lots of love.

The item was as expected. I accidentally entered a bad review for another ladle that arrived broken. The olive ladle was in perfect condition, well packed. My apologies!

Cette louche en bois d'olivier est extrêmement robuste ; on sent que le bois est de grande qualité. Il est bien lourd et très bien poli. La contenance est importante. Je recommande !

Schnelle Lieferung, herausragende Optik. Habe mehrere Teile der Serie gekauft und bin von der Optik total begeistert. Nach dem Gebrauch mit etwas Olivenöl einreiben und schon ist der Neuteil-Look wieder gegeben. Langfristig kann ich über den Erhalt des klasse Erscheinungsbildes erst später meinen Senf geben.

Compré esta cuchara como regalo para mi madre y fue un gran acierto. Está encantada con el color y la calidad de la madera.
