Trade-offs

About Verve Culture
Verve Culture is a women-owned brand that works with artisan makers around the world, and its olivewood boards are crafted in Italy's Umbria region from solid, boldly grained olivewood. Olivewood is prized for cutting and serving because it is dense and naturally oil-rich, and the brand describes the wood as sustainably sourced in Italy. The board ships without a factory finish; the care instruction is to occasionally rub it with olive or mineral oil to keep the wood healthy. Verve frames olivewood as a truly sustainable, long-lasting material, though it does not spell out the specifics of how the wood is sourced. It is a mid-to-upper price board bought as much for its look as its function.
