Uses for Charcuterie Board or Cutting Board:

• Serving Platter: The wood's sturdy nature makes it perfect for serving a variety of foods, including cheeses, meats, fruits, and crackers.
• Cutting Board: Its durability allows it to be used as a cutting board for slicing bread, vegetables, and other ingredients.
• Decorative Piece: The elegant appearance of the wood makes it a great decorative piece for your kitchen or dining area.
• Gift: A wooden charcuterie board can be a thoughtful and stylish gift for friends and family, especially for those who enjoy hosting gatherings.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your wooden charcuterie board and cutting board, follow these care instructions:

1. Hand Wash Only: Always wash the board by hand with warm, soapy water. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause the wood to warp or crack.
2. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, dry the board immediately with a clean towel. Do not let it air dry, as prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the wood.
3. Oil Regularly: To maintain the wood's luster and prevent it from drying out, apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner to the board every few weeks. Rub the oil into the wood with a soft cloth, let it soak in for a few hours, and then wipe off any excess.
4. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep the board away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and extreme temperature changes, as these can cause the wood to crack or split.
5. Remove Stains and Odors: (FOR CUTTING BOARDS ONLY) For stubborn stains or odors, sprinkle coarse salt or baking soda on the board, rub it with a cut lemon, and then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Keep your wooden charcuterie board or cutting board in excellent condition for years to come.

Here are some food-safe oils that are great for maintaining your wooden charcuterie board and cutting board:

1. Mineral Oil: This is a popular choice for conditioning wooden kitchen items. It's odorless, tasteless, and won't go rancid. Look for food-grade mineral oil to ensure it's safe for use with food.
2. Beeswax: Often combined with mineral oil, beeswax provides a protective coating that helps seal the wood and keep it moisturized. You can find beeswax conditioners specifically designed for cutting boards and charcuterie boards.
3. Coconut Oil: This natural oil is also food-safe and has antimicrobial properties. Make sure to use refined coconut oil to avoid any strong coconut flavor or scent.
4. Walnut Oil: Walnut oil is another excellent option for conditioning wood. It's food-safe and provides a durable finish. However, be cautious if you or anyone in your household has nut allergies.
5. Linseed Oil: Also known as flaxseed oil, this oil is food-safe and provides a strong protective layer. Make sure to use raw, food-grade linseed oil rather than boiled linseed oil, which contains additives.
