{"product_id":"roses-olivewood-bowl","title":"Rose's Olivewood Medium Bowl","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe bowl that ends up in the middle of everything — salad tossed and brought straight to the table, fruit on the counter, popcorn on the sofa, the place you empty your pockets by the door. At about 8 inches across and 3 deep it holds a proper amount without feeling heavy, and it looks like something long before it holds anything at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHere the grain is the whole point: a turned olive-wood bowl catches the light around its curve, and no two are alike — waves of honey, amber and deep bronze swirling from rim to base, a pattern this tree spent a lifetime writing. Yours is only yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eReach for a plastic bowl instead and it sheds into whatever's in it — oil, acidity and time break micro-fragments loose into your food, the same microplastics now turning up in human blood, in the placenta, even in the brain. This gives nothing back: one solid piece of olive wood, no coating, no additives, no plastic taste, no odd smell, just wood. And it's naturally cleaner — a University of Wisconsin microbiologist showed decades ago that 99.9% of bacteria die on a wooden surface within minutes, while scratched plastic clings to them in its grooves. Dense and hard-wearing, warm to hold and light to carry — kind to the table, kind to the hand, and the kind of piece that only looks better with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis is olive wood in the Mediterranean tradition Rose's Olivewood was born from — a warm, lasting piece against a world of throwaway plastic. A little oil now and then and the grain only deepens with the years. It makes a quietly generous gift, too — the sort of thing people leave out on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHand wash and dry — never the dishwasher, and don't let it soak; oil it when the wood looks dry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rose Olivewood","offers":[{"title":"8\" x 3\"","offer_id":53269362966864,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/6070\/8176\/files\/hf_20260709_170317_4a518be9-839a-4bb5-a0d7-0c6503893e58.png?v=1783616738","url":"https:\/\/rose-olivewood.com\/products\/roses-olivewood-bowl","provider":"Rose Olivewood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
