ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Each wooden utensil in this thoughtfully crafted set is handcarved from sustainably harvested wood from the heart of the Guatemalan jungle. The natural grain and texture shine through every curve and handle, designed for both practical use and lasting elegance.

This three-piece set includes a large oval spoon, medium oval spoon, and spatula, each sized for different cooking needs. The sustainable sourcing and fair trade practices ensure your kitchen tools support both environmental stewardship and community empowerment.

Founded in the Petén jungle of Guatemala, the largest remaining tropical forest of Central America, Itza Wood describes its furnishings and woodware as hand-crafted. Every Itza Wood creation is sourced exclusively from the Petén.
Before touching a single tree, Itza Wood's reforestation project had planted 45,000 trees in the heart of the Petén jungle. Founder Eliza Babarczy calls it the company's way of deepening its commitment to nature's most beautiful treasures. Itza Wood actively reforests and buys FSC certified woods.
Itza Wood reinvests profits to help drive education for young people in the region, and every piece is crafted and sold with the intention of creating further jobs and education in Guatemala. The company provides its craftsmen, the people of the Petén, with favorable work environments and wages, and its tropical wood pieces are made to last a lifetime.
