Boxwood mustard spoon

In addition to its undeniable aesthetic appeal, boxwood offers a number of advantages when used for a mustard spoon.

Firstly, boxwood has a completely neutral taste, unlike stainless steel, which can alter the taste of acidic foods, as can certain other woods that are less dense and harder and therefore more reactive in contact with acidic substances - such as the vinegar contained in mustard.

It's a very compact wood that doesn't absorb liquids, so it won't stain over time or become impregnated with taste or odor.

Finally, boxwood's durability makes it a wood that has long been used in the kitchen, as it lasts over time without being damaged.
