Expert Review and Insights
This Olympia platter is a simple yet incredibly effective tool for elevating presentation. It’s not just a plate; it’s a canvas. The natural texture and deep colour bring an immediate sense of quality and consideration to the table, making even simple fare feel special. It’s a testament to the idea that the right tableware is as important as the ingredients themselves.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Aesthetic Impact: The dark, natural slate makes colourful ingredients look absolutely stunning.
- Care Required: As it's natural stone, it demands careful hand-washing to prevent chipping.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Penzance recently revamped its menu to focus on modern Cornish seafood. They needed tableware that would reflect this fresh, contemporary approach and make their vibrant dishes stand out on social media.
"We were looking for something a bit different from the usual white plate. These slate platters make our food look incredible. The contrast with the colourful sauces and fresh fish is just fantastic. Our customers are constantly taking photos."
Robert Davies – Owner & Head Chef
Since switching to the Olympia slate platters for their tasting menu, the bistro has noted a significant increase in customer photo tags on Instagram, boosting their online visibility.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, simply wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- To enhance the deep black colour, you can optionally rub a tiny amount of food-safe oil (like olive or vegetable oil) onto the surface and wipe off the excess.
- The edges are smooth, but it's always good practice to handle natural stone with care.
Keeping It Going
- Always hand-wash these platters. They are not suitable for dishwashers.
- Avoid letting them soak in water for long periods, as this can affect the natural layers of the stone.
- Use a soft cloth or sponge. Abrasive scourers can scratch the surface.
- When storing, stack them carefully, perhaps with a paper towel between each one to prevent chipping and scratching.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these platters dishwasher safe?
A: No, to protect the natural stone and ensure their longevity, these platters are strictly hand-wash only.
Q: Can I use them in the oven or microwave?
A: Absolutely not. Slate is a natural stone and is not designed to withstand the extreme temperature changes of an oven or microwave, which could cause it to crack.
Q: Is every single platter identical?
A: No. As it's a natural material, each platter has its own unique patterns and textures, which is a key part of its rustic charm.
Q: How many platters are included in one purchase?
A: The Olympia CM062 is sold as a pack containing two individual slate platters.
Q: Are the edges of the slate sharp?
A: No, this model is designed with smooth, rounded edges for a more refined finish and safer handling by your staff and customers.
Q: What is the best way to clean the slate?
A: The best method is to use a soft cloth with a little warm, soapy water and then dry it immediately. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads.
Q: Can I use knives to cut food directly on the platter?
A: It is not recommended. Sharp knives can scratch the surface of the slate and can also be blunted by it. These are best used as a slate food presentation tray.
Q: Does the slate material absorb oils or strong odours?
A: Slate is fairly non-porous, but it's always best practice to clean it promptly after serving oily or strongly flavoured foods to keep it in top condition.

Explore more from OlympiaThe Natural Advantage: Why Real Slate Matters
You might see 'slate effect' elsewhere, but this is the real deal. So what does 'natural slate' actually mean for your service? It means every single platter is unique. Like a fingerprint or wood grain, the fine, layered patterns in the stone are formed over millions of years, so no two pieces are ever identical. This gives your service a genuinely authentic, earthy feel that mass-produced ceramics simply can't replicate. It tells a story of quality and nature before the guest has even taken a bite, adding a subtle layer of sophistication to your presentation.
