FAQs

Can I use this grinder for spices other than salt and pepper?

This grinder is specifically designed for salt crystals and whole peppercorns due to its ceramic mechanism. Using other spices may damage the mechanism or lead to poor performance.

How do I adjust the grind size?

The grind size is typically adjusted by turning a knob or screw located at the top or bottom of the grinder. Rotate it to select your desired coarseness or fineness.

Is the ceramic mechanism easy to clean?

The mechanism is designed for longevity. For routine cleaning, it's best to empty the mill and gently tap out residual seasoning. Avoid washing the mechanism with water, as this can damage it. Wipe the wooden body with a damp cloth only.

Does this come as a set for both salt and pepper?

The Salter Olea is sold as a single grinder unit. You would need to purchase two units if you wish to have separate grinders for salt and pepper. The included caps help differentiate them.

What type of wood is the grinder made from?

The grinder is made from dark beechwood, providing a rustic and durable finish.

How often should I refill the grinder?

Refill frequency depends on usage. Monitor the seasoning level and refill as needed by unscrewing the top and adding more salt crystals or peppercorns.

Troubleshooting

Grinder is difficult to turn or grinding poorly.

Ensure the mill is not overfilled. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the mechanism. If using salt, ensure it is suitable crystal salt and not fine table salt. Adjust the grind setting to a coarser option if currently on fine.

Wooden exterior shows signs of wear or discoloration.

Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh detergents or prolonged exposure to moisture. Consider applying a food-safe wood oil periodically if the manufacturer recommends it.

Confusion between salt and pepper mills.

Utilize the provided 'S' and 'P' labeled caps to clearly distinguish between the salt and pepper grinders.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the Salter Olea grinder is straightforward. To fill, unscrew the top section and carefully pour your chosen seasoning (salt crystals or whole peppercorns) into the reservoir. Replace the top and ensure it's secure.

  • Compatibility: This grinder is designed for use with salt crystals and whole peppercorns. Avoid using pre-ground spices or fine table salt, as this may clog the mechanism.
  • Care Instructions: To clean the exterior, wipe the wooden body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking the wood or using abrasive cleaners. For the ceramic mechanism, periodically empty the mill and gently tap out any residual seasoning. For deeper cleaning, refer to specific manufacturer guidelines if available, but generally avoid water exposure for the mechanism itself.
