The IVO Cutelarias cork handled collection meets the needs of most demanding users. The handle cork allows superior comfort and safety during handling by the user. Portugal is famed for its production of cork, being the largest supplier in the world. Cork is an invaluable natural product – known for its excellent insulating properties. The cork industry is regarded as environmentally friendly and sustainable because the cork tree is not cut down to obtain cork; only the bark is stripped to harvest the cork. The tree continues to live and grow for around 300 years. The sustainability of production and the easy recycling of cork products and by-products are two of its most distinctive aspects.
