FAQ

Everything you wanted to know about toothpicks.

How do you score toothpicks?

We rate on grip, point integrity, aroma, and overall craftsmanship. Each pick is inspected for uniformity and splinter resistance.

Are flavored toothpicks safe for daily use?

Yes, when produced with food-safe oils. We recommend storing them in an airtight jar to preserve flavor and texture.

How should I store premium toothpicks?

Keep them in a dry, sealed container away from humidity. A lined tin or glass jar works best.

Can toothpicks be composted?

Natural wood toothpicks compost quickly. Remove any coatings first, and avoid flavored picks with synthetic infusions.
