Product Information
Full details
The Acacia Butcher Chopping Board is an ideal workspace for home chefs who prioritize durability and aesthetics in their culinary tools. Crafted from sturdy acacia wood, it provides a stable surface that protects knife blades while resisting chipping during heavy-duty tasks. While its natural grain and rich brown tone make it an attractive kitchen centerpiece, users should note that the organic nature of wood requires regular hand-washing and periodic oiling to maintain its longevity and food-safe finish.

FAQs
Can I put this board in the dishwasher?
No. The high heat and intense water exposure in a dishwasher will cause the acacia wood to warp, crack, or split.
Is the surface safe for direct food contact?
Yes, acacia wood is a natural, food-safe material perfect for cutting and preparing all types of ingredients.
Do I need to treat the board before using it?
While it is ready to use, applying a light coat of food-grade mineral oil before the first use can help protect the wood surface.
What should I do if the board gets stained?
For stubborn stains, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper followed by a coat of mineral oil can often restore the surface.
How do I use the finger grooves?
Simply place your fingers under the recessed indentations on the side edges to get a secure grip when lifting the board from a flat surface.
Troubleshooting
The wood surface feels dry or appears lighter in color.
Apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil, let it soak in overnight, and wipe off any excess.
Food odors have lingered on the board.
Rub the surface with half a lemon and some coarse salt, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Acacia Butcher Chopping Board lasts for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, hand-wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly with a towel.
- Regular Maintenance: Always hand-wash after every use. Never submerge in water for extended periods and avoid the dishwasher, as heat and moisture will cause the wood to warp or crack.
- Conditioning: Every 1-2 months, apply a food-safe mineral oil or board cream to the surface to keep the wood hydrated and maintain its rich brown color.
- Storage: Store the board in a dry, well-ventilated area. If possible, stand it on its side to allow air circulation on both faces.
