About Acacia Wood, used exclusively by Ironwood Gourmet
- Beautifully handcrafted products made from Acacia wood will last for generations.
- Acacia is an environmentally friendly hardwood that is grown on all continents. This pod bearing tree is known for its rich, dark colours which range from golden hues to chocolate brown.
- Acacia wood has an unusual property known as chatoyancy - it appears to change colour and lustre in different lighting conditions.
- The rich, dark colours and contrasting hues of the Acacia wood have been sought after for their natural beauty for thousands of years. In biblical times, it was used for bows and boats due to its strength.
- Acacia wood used in Ironwood Gourmet products comes from Thailand and is farmed from special plantations where the trees are encouraged to grow large and strong before limbs are cut for production. Many additional trees are planted regularly to improve environmental conditions and maintain Thailand's beautiful landscape.
