FAQ's
What are your boards made of?
Our cheese and charcuterie board are made from sustainably sourced Acacia wood. Acacia Is the hardest of all hardwoods. Acacia wood is from the Australian-native Acacia trees and shrubs, which can also be found in Asia and Africa. There are more than a thousand different varieties of Acacia tree. The hardwood that is sourced from the tree is used for building long- lasting furniture and homewares.
What’s the difference between Bamboo and Acacia?
Bamboo is a soft grass and Acacia is a hard wood. Bamboo is harder than common hardwood like Acacia and so can be damaging to your knives. Apart from its beauty, Acacia has all the components you want for a charcuterie and cutting board: durability, resistance and soft on knives.
How do I clean my board?
Hand wash it with a wet cloth and dry. Apply regularly food-grade mineral oil (coconut oil) and store your acacia wood board and use a clean cloth to rub it in the direction of the wood grain. And then wipe excess oils off. Allow tray to sit overnight. Please, do not soak or submerge in water as this will over-saturate the wood and lead to cracking.
