Portuguese Sardine Cork Trivet

A thick layer of Portuguese cork for serving from the oven

This Small Cork Trivet creates a protective surface beneath hot casseroles, baking dishes, pots, plates, and serving platters. At three quarters of an inch thick, the compressed cork provides substantial cushioning between hot cookware and the table or countertop, helping prevent heat marks and stains during everyday meals and larger gatherings.

Handmade in Portugal from upcycled cork granules, the trivet makes practical use of one of the country’s most important natural materials. Its softly textured surface is lightweight enough to move easily around the kitchen yet sturdy enough for frequent service.

Portuguese Cork Production

Handmade in Portugal: Each trivet is produced in Portugal, a country closely associated with the cultivation and skilled use of natural cork.
