FAQs

How do I care for my cutting bard, charcuterie board, or other product that comes into contact with food?

  • For items that we create that are made to contact food, we use a mixture of mineral oil and beeswax (or refined carnauba wax for vegetarian/vegan customers). To keep your product in its best shape, you will need maintain it well. 
    1. Quickly wash with warm water and dish soap
    2. Completely dry off board with a towel and place board in an upright position (do not allow board to stand in water)
    3. every few weeks or when you notice your board is dry, give it a generous coating of mineral oil or our Board Butter.
