Made from 100% natural mango wood.
Mango trees have an extremely long life but eventually do stop bearing fruit and are replaced by younger trees. As India produces, by far, the most mangos in the world this results in a massive industry using one of the most sustainable woods known to man.
These products are made by Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark are a fantastic Fair Trade organisation and work with some very talented producer groups. Their products are incredibly well made and the founder, Samuel, is an inspirational man.
Their focus on education and capacity building enables the people they support to become more aware of fair working conditions and the environment in order to prove the value, cultural heritage and beauty of their hand made products. The longer term effect is that they are working collectively towards poverty eradication.
Noah's Ark are members of the WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) and Fair Trade Forum India. They work with around 49 different artisan groups, involving approximately 500 artisans.
If your mango wood piece gets a little dirty, give it a clean with warm soapy water and immediately dry it off with a cloth.
Be careful not to let it soak, as too much moisture could make the wood warp or crack. Our mango wood kitchenware is not suitable for the dishwasher, microwave or oven, and should only be used for dry food.
You can buy this products happy in the knowledge that you are directly helping the people who have made them.
