Birch Wood Ice Cream Spoon by First Pack
The First Pack birch wood ice cream spoon is a single-use, 70 mm wooden spoon for serving gelato, sorbet, granita and single-portion desserts. Made of smooth, splinter-free natural birch from controlled cultivation, it is biodegradable, compostable and food-contact safe under European regulations. Sold in packs of 100 pieces in a sealed bag, with cartons of 30 packs (3,000 spoons), it is the natural, plastic-free choice for high-turnover gelato shops and bars.
What It Is
A flat wooden tasting and serving spoon, 70 mm long, the most compact format in the disposable ice cream cutlery range. The pocket size is designed for single-portion cups, samples and small to-go desserts, where a long spoon would be impractical. Unlike plastic spoons, untreated birch wood is renewable, leaves no microplastics and returns to organic matter at end of life.
The Brand: First Pack
First Pack is a French specialist in disposable tableware and food packaging with nearly 40 years of experience and over 2,000 references in its catalogue. The group operates subsidiaries and warehouses in Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom and the United States, and has pioneered eco-friendly lines since the early 1990s, including white wood, bamboo, PLA, sugarcane bagasse, corn starch and palm-leaf products.
Material and Characteristics
The spoon is made of natural birch, a wood widely chosen for single-use cutlery because it does not need to be bleached, remains odourless and tasteless, and does not transfer any flavour to ice cream or sorbet. The surface is sanded smooth to be splinter-free and pleasant in the mouth, with no chemical additives. The flat profile gives a firm grip and a clean scoop down to the last bite.
Professional Uses
- Tasting spoons: offer free samples of new gelato flavours at the counter without committing a full cup.
- Single-portion cups: pair with small 60-90 ml paper or PLA cups for quick takeaway servings.
- Granita and sorbet: the flat tip works well with coarse, icy textures typical of Sicilian granita.
- Spoon desserts to go: tiramisu cups, panna cotta, mousse and semifreddo in single portions.
- Events and catering: dessert buffets, ice cream stations and weddings where a natural, plastic-free look matters.
