For hundreds of years, olive wood has been known for its strength and durability. Combined with the exquisite beauty of the wood, these new artistic and timeless pieces fit any lifestyle. There are variations in the color and grain within the wood, each highlighting a combination of brown streaks beautifully complemented by the lighter yellow streaks of sapwood. As it ages, the grain and color becomes more dark and rich, and if well cared for the beauty is unmatched by any other wood. This Swiss mar 9 inch Roma Olive Wood Pepper Mill comes with a ceramic mechanical interior with a fully adjustable grind.
