Design

These mills feature the iconic 1874 Bistro silhouette, reimagined in luxurious, velvety olive wood known for its high-contrast marbling. The compact, ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the palm of the hand, while the distinct natural patterns serve as a beautiful counterpoint to the classic French cafe aesthetic.

Durability

The exterior is carved from dense, oily olive wood that is naturally resistant to moisture and wear, while the interior houses the world-renowned Peugeot steel grinding mechanism. These case-hardened steel parts are specifically treated to maintain their razor-sharp edges and resist corrosion, ensuring a consistent grind for a lifetime of heavy use.

Care

To maintain the luster of the natural wood grain, the mills should be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth and never submerged in water or placed in the dishwasher. Periodically applying a food-safe mineral oil to the exterior will prevent the wood from drying out and ensure the olive wood remains vibrant and supple for decades.

Notable Features

The set includes a dedicated pepper mill and salt mill, each featuring a specific mechanism designed to crack and grind the spices to release their full aromatic potential. A classic tension knob on the crown allows you to easily adjust the grind from powdery fine to coarse, providing precision control over your seasoning.
