Meet The Artisan Being a native of the state of Guerrero, Jorge Alberto had interest since he was young in the wood working craft. He was especially influenced by his grandparents and his family who work wood. He considers himself "a lover of handcrafts" and he is committed to his state to show abroad what they can do with wood. He manufactures and sells to many different places in Mexico and it is his goal to conquer borders and share the love of his craft. The Great Guamúchil Tree The guamúchil tree is a native tree to Jalisco, where these dishes are made. The tree produces wood with beautiful grains and rich colors, and they don't require replanting as the trees grow very quickly thanks to rapid growth and fast-germinating seeds. Cleaning & Care CLEANING: The salsa dish and spoons should be hand washed with warm water and mild soap. Never leave soaking in water to avoid splitting or cracking. Dry thoroughly before storing to avoid mildew. Never put in the dishwasher or microwave oven. SANITIZING: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 5 parts water, wet the dish thoroughly and let sit for several minutes. Rinse with warm water and air dry to control bacteria growth. MAINTENANCE: Every so often, apply a small portion of food safe beeswax, olive oil, or a food safe mineral oil and rub to distribute evenly, until desired shine is obtained.
