How This Came to Be

We added the reamer to our kitchen line in 2025 after a customer wrote that her plastic juicer cracked the third time she used it on a frozen lemon. Olive wood does not crack, the deep ridges grip the citrus pulp without slipping, and one reamer can outlast a dozen plastic ones.

The Story of This Piece

Each reamer is turned on a small lathe by hand from a single olive wood blank. The pointed grooved tip is carved separately and the smooth handle is shaped to fit a closed fist. No varnish, no stain.

How It Is Used

Used for juicing lemons, limes, small oranges, and tangerines for cooking, baking, marinades, salad dressings, cocktails. Twist the grooved tip into a cut citrus half, the juice drips through the ridges into the bowl below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it juice oranges and grapefruits?
Best for lemons, limes, and small oranges or tangerines. A full-size grapefruit is too large for the grooved head, use a flat handheld press for those.

How is it cleaned?
Rinse under warm water immediately after use to clear pulp, hand wash with mild soap if sticky, towel dry. Never dishwasher.

Does the wood absorb citrus oil?
A faint citrus scent develops over time, which most cooks like. The wood will not warp or crack from juice exposure.

Single or pack of 2, what is the difference?
Same reamer, same dimensions. The pack of 2 is for households with two cooks or as a paired gift, priced lower per piece.
