More information about our cutting board oil
Our Cutting Board Oil is the perfect choice for protecting, maintaining and restoring wooden kitchen items including cutting boards, butcher blocks, wooden spoons and more.
Regular application will prevent cutting boards from becoming dry, cracked and brittle. Forming a protective barrier, cutting board oil will also prevent liquid from penetrating the surface, working to reduce the proliferation of germs and bacteria.
Our chopping board oil is food-grade, making it perfect for use on items used for food preparation. The oil will never spoil, unlike many alternative treatments. The pure mineral oil penetrates the wood, providing protection, retaining and enhancing the wood's natural color and character, while also prolonging the lifespan of your wooden kitchen boards, blocks and utensils.

Instructions
Step 1
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before use. Wash your cutting board with warm soapy water and leave to dry, lying flat on a countertop. Cleaning the board first will open up the grain in the wood allowing the oil to penetrate deeper, and more evenly into the cutting board.
Step 2
Apply the Cutting Board Oil liberally and evenly over the board using a clean cloth and leave any excess to soak in overnight. As the Cutting Board Oil soaks in it will nourish and protect the wood.
Once the cutting board feels dry, buff the board using a clean cloth. Repeat the process until you can drip a drop of water onto the wood and it beads up on the surface and does not soak in. This is how to tell if the wood is completely protected.
Step 3
Re-apply the oil once a month or as necessary when you see that water is once again starting to be absorbed into the wood. This process will keep your cutting board in pristine condition.
