This finely detailed set of decorative and functional trays is modeled after Japanese bento boxes. Perfect for serving favorite bites, this set of three trays from Itza Wood is made from sustainably harvested granadillo wood in Petén, Guatemala. Each bento plate is handmade by skilled artisans, who dry the tropical wood in a kiln to prevent warping and then carve and finish each piece. We really like the fact that these trays are both functional and striking, while being produced by a company that supports the local economy and sustainably harvests the wood to ensure the forest remains healthy for future generations.

How to use

A stunning combination of tropical wood, sustainably harvested and sourced from the Petén jungle.

The woods Itza Wood uses for these beautiful and highly durable products—which are certified as sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council—have a rich and bountiful history that dates all the way back to the Mayan empire. In fact, the Mayans built one of the grandest ancient structures in the world, La Danta (which still stands), using wood from the very same forests these boards are sourced from.

Not sure how you’d use it?

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.

HOW TO USE

With a little care, hardwoods can last a lifetime. We recommend conditioning your board with a mixture of beeswax and food-safe linseed oil, mineral oil or any other natural oil that does not turn rancid. Do this once a week for the first month and then sporadically to restore vibrancy when the wood dulls. Boards can be washed with warm soapy water but do not leave submerged in water.

Kitchen Notes

All of Itza’s kitchen utensils, serving boards and bowls are finished with a nontoxic and food-safe beeswax paste.

Itza Wood kitchenware items are hand-crafted in the Peten region of Guatemala where all wood is locally and sustainably sourced for usage. The company strives to give back to the Peten region by providing education and employment to support the community.
