Our Salt Cellar makes a wonderful gift for a friend or relative who enjoys cooking. Made from Acacia wood, each cellar has a unique pattern and grain that varies in color from gold to chocolate brown. It is easy to care for your acacia wood salt cellar. Wash in warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinse. Never soak or wash your wood cellar in a dish washer. Prop up and air dry. After drying, rejuevinate the cellar by liberally rubbing it with butcher block oil. Regular applications will prevent the cellar from cracking and preserve its rich colors for many years. Maryland residents pay a 6.00% sales tax.
