{"product_id":"roses-olivewood-serving-dish","title":"Rose's Olivewood Serving Dish","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe wide, shallow dish that makes a meal look like an occasion. At about 11 inches across but low and open, it's built for the food you serve from the middle of the table — a big bowl of pasta, a shared salad, roasted vegetables, fruit piled high. The gently sloping sides show off what's in it instead of hiding it, and the broad flat base means nothing gets lost at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHere the grain is the whole point: a piece this wide is a sweep of olive wood, deep chocolate-brown and bronze with darker currents running rim to rim, no two ever alike — 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 dish instead and it sheds into what you serve — every knife mark and warm helping breaks micro-fragments loose into the 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 the touch and lighter than it looks — kind to the table, kind to the hands that pass it round, and the kind of piece that only deepens 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 centrepiece against a world of throwaway plastic. A little oil now and then and the grain only glows more with the years. It's a generous gift, too — a wedding, a new home, a table that fills up often.\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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rose Olivewood","offers":[{"title":"11\"","offer_id":53269360836944,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/6070\/8176\/files\/hf_20260709_171805_777c9004-8cba-40e0-b259-ba377f8a22cd.png?v=1783617598","url":"https:\/\/rose-olivewood.com\/products\/roses-olivewood-serving-dish","provider":"Rose Olivewood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
