{"product_id":"roses-olivewood-shovel","title":"Rose's Olivewood Cooking Spatula","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe one that ends up in your hand every time you cook. It's long — about 13 inches — so your knuckles stay well clear of the heat, with an angled flat blade pared thin enough to slide under a frying egg or a delicate fillet, yet stiff enough to turn roasting vegetables and scrape up every caramelised bit stuck to the pan. The handle is slim and rounded, the kind you hold without thinking about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eReach for a plastic turner instead and a little of it leaves with the food — heat softens it and every scrape sheds micro-fragments into what you're cooking, the same microplastics now turning up in human blood, in the placenta, even in the brain. This won't: it's one solid piece of olive wood, nothing added, nothing coating it, nothing to leach into your dinner. It's naturally cleaner, too — a University of Wisconsin microbiologist showed decades ago that 99.9% of bacteria die on a wooden surface within minutes, while scratched plastic holds onto them in its grooves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBecause it's olive wood, it also does what metal can't: it slips under your food without dragging a single scratch across the non-stick or enamel you paid good money for. It won't melt or warp on a hot edge the way a plastic turner does, the handle never heats up in your grip, and it holds onto nothing — no flavours, no odours, no residue in tomorrow's cooking. Olive wood is one of the hardest, densest timbers on earth, built for exactly this kind of daily work.\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 tool against a drawer full of throwaway plastic. Every piece carries its own grain, deep honey pulling through the handle, and a little oil now and then only makes it warmer with the years. The one you cook with will be only yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHand wash and dry — never the dishwasher; oil it when the wood looks dry.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rose Olivewood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53237812068688,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/6070\/8176\/files\/hf_20260709_073806_0c1acec6-6ff3-4c90-9e47-cbe0b004fa17.png?v=1783586626","url":"https:\/\/rose-olivewood.com\/products\/roses-olivewood-shovel","provider":"Rose Olivewood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
