With its dense structure and smooth finish, it preserves the butter’s texture while harmonizing beautifully with your daily table.

■Material & Finish

Mountain cherrywood combines durability and refinement. Its tight grain and rich hue make it resistant to warping—even in the cool, dry air of a refrigerator.
The case is carved with generous thickness, maintaining a stable temperature and preventing the butter from hardening excessively.
Finished with edible walnut oil, it is food-safe and enhances the wood’s natural luster, giving a soft glow that deepens over time.

■Care & Aging

Wash gently by hand with mild detergent; avoid dishwashers and soaking in water.

The oil finish makes it resistant to stains and discoloration; minor tonal changes may occur naturally.

After washing, wipe dry and let air-dry completely.

With time, the surface will acquire a richer patina—reflecting both use and care.
