Cork, the exterior bark of the Quercus Suber Oak, is a renewable material. This outer most layer of the tree is harvested by hand every 9 years. Cork's favorable attributes: anti-bacterial (food safe), non-absorbent, stain resistant, and heat tolerant. Our cork products come from the vast groves of the Alentejo region of Portugal. We are proud to have worked with one family since the 90's in the procurement and production of our cork pieces. A zero waste industry; we utilize cork that otherwise would be crushed and pressed into agglomerated cork for more industrial uses.
