Product Description
Made in France from a single piece of the finest olive wood, this handcrafted salt keeper offers original beauty (no two are identical) and graceful curves for an elegant addition to any kitchen counter or table. The unit's rounded interior holds up to a half-pound of cooking salt at a time, while its swiveling magnetic lid, with its stainless-steel hinge, swings open easily with one hand--a nice feature when in the middle of cooking dinner. The use of wood not only brings the beauty of nature indoors, but it has also been found to be more hygienic than plastic. Furthermore, out of respect for the environment, the particular olive wood used by Berard comes from sustainably managed forests, so the piece can be enjoyed for years to come and with peace of mind. The salt keeper measures approximately 4 by 4 by 4 inches and should be hand washed only and dried thoroughly.
From the Manufacturer
Berard is located in the mountains of Royans, which border the northern edge of Provence in France.
Since 1892, Berard has specialized in creating kitchen products from carefully selected woods such as beechwood, boxwood and olivewood. The quality of Berard products are the result of a century of know-how. The Berard objective is to offer the best in kitchen and decorative wood products both in traditional as well as innovative shapes and materials.
Because Berard has been making wood items for over a century, our artisans truly understand the various woods and how to best create wonderful and useful articles from this warm and beautiful material. Our products may have irregular graining, veining or knots. Each piece is hand crafted based on the characteristics of the wood it is to be made from. Whether using these articles for cooking, serving or decorating, these unique items not only highlight your good taste but also your enjoyment of natural things.
Features:
- Handcrafted in France, using traditional methods
- Each piece is artisanaly produced by artisans who are adept at working with wood. The unique nature of the wood means that no two pieces are alike and dimensions will vary from piece to piece. The little imperfections in the wood are characteristic of the hand crafted nature of each piece.
- The quality of Berard products are the result of century of know-how. Year after year, Berard has been synonymous with quality, authenticity and reliability.
- All of our olivewood items come from agricultural orchards and each tree is cut with respect to the laws that protect each country and the use of olive wood.
Environment's Respect:
Wood is a natural resource which is crucial to the balance of life on our planet. Using it as a raw material means respecting it from its origins...the forest or orchard...all the way through to recycling.
On these issues, Berard's position is one of clarity and integrity: only species from forests and orchards which are managed in a sustainable manner are used. Respect of origin, strict management of quantities and careful selection of species are long-standing values at Berard.

Originally ordered the Berard 90070G salt keeper, which is the slightly smaller, cheaper version ($39.63 vs. $53.99). First "G" version arrived. It was rather plain looking without a lot of visible grain. I probably would have kept it except for the fact that the lid was not quite aligned with the sides of the bowl when the lid was closed (apparently the magnet in the lid or in the bowl was offset slightly from where it was supposed to be located). So I returned that one and asked for a replacement. That 2nd "G" version arrived and had a lot more grain in the wood and looked nicer than the first one.
BUT...there was NO magnet in the lid, so the lid would not stay closed. There was a HOLE in the lid where the magnet was supposed to be....just no magnet in it.
So I returned that "G" version and decided to order the slightly larger 90070 version. That one arrived and was FANTASTIC looking. Just beautiful looking grain in it. The only little glitch was that the magnet in the lid was slightly proud of the lid surface, so when the lid was closed there was a 1/16" or so gap between the lid and the bowl. I used a C clamp to pull the magnet flush into the lid and now all is well. Works great for having a pinch of salt readily available, and is beautiful to boot. I'm really glad that the 2 "G" versions I got first had issues that resulted in me getting the 90070 version that I ended up with!

Thinking it was just a fluke, I opted to send it back in exchange for another one.
Unfortunately, the second one I received, where the lid and bowl met didn’t align smooth and flush causing a noticeable edge. Again, the lid didn’t have any gorgeous marbling like the bowl, appearing almost like unfinished oak.
I realize that these are handcrafted, however, my expectation with the Berard name is to have a gorgeous functional piece of art for my kitchen….seeing other photos compared to the product I purchased x2, had left me very disappointed.
Seeing another reviewer go through something similar, and had success a third time, I thought I’d give it a go one last time.
All I can say is 3rd time is a charm!!!
I’m just over the moon on how gorgeous the cellar is that I received, however, this is what I should’ve received the first time.
Berard and/or the seller really need to investigate quality control on their products.
