Italian Olive wood is one of the most stunning and rare hardwoods available, known for its striking grain patterns, golden hues, and dark brown to black swirling veins. Harvested only from aged or unproductive trees in Mediterranean groves, each slab tells a unique story — shaped by centuries of slow growth and natural artistry. Olive wood is dense, naturally oily, and exceptionally hard, making it perfect for luxurious furniture, countertops, and conversation pieces that will last generations.
