Under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), operators placing wood products on the EU market need due-diligence information: geolocation of harvest, legal-harvest evidence and traceability. ArtisRaw provides EUDR-readiness documentation and traceability for olive wood sourced in Tunisia.
Olive wood lasts for years in commercial kitchens with a simple routine: hand-wash with mild soap, dry immediately, avoid prolonged soaking and the dishwasher, and re-oil with a food-safe mineral oil and beeswax blend whenever the surface looks dry or pale.
To import olive wood into the USA you generally file a Lacey Act declaration (PPQ Form 505) with the genus/species (Olea europaea), country of harvest (Tunisia), quantity and value. ArtisRaw supplies this declaration data and the HTS 4419 classification with every shipment.
Chemlali olive wood resists knife scarring because of its high density (about 900–1,100 kg/m³), low porosity and interlocked grain. Those properties — closer to a hardwood than to typical softwoods — let the surface self-close around knife marks, which is why professional kitchens favour it for boards.
