Our alpaca forks are made by a family business in the enchanting Jujuy province of Northwestern Argentina.
A perfect blend of "gaucho chic" and traditional Argentinian design, the alpaca forks are essential to your mid-afternoon snack table.
Their smooth blades are made of alpaca, a metal commonly used in Jujuy and some other parts of Argentina for production of tableware and jewelry, while their handles are made of re-salvaged cow bone. The spreaders come in a set of six inside a cosy wooden box.
At Morena Linda we sustainably source our products in collaboration with local artisan communities at a fair price. Together we keep their ancient skills alive.
