Oak cutting boards – robust, natural & made for life in the kitchen

Looking for a cutting board that does more than just look good? Then you should consider oak. Not only is it one of the hardest and most durable woods for cutting boards, but it also offers natural benefits that enhance your cutting experience – whether in a professional kitchen, at the grill, or while serving.

Why oak? – 6 unbeatable advantages

  • Solid & cut-resistant: Oak is one of the hardest domestic woods.
  • Dimensionally stable: The board retains its shape even under heavy use.
  • Antibacterial: The tannins contained have a natural germ-reducing effect.
  • Knife friendly: The wood structure protects the blade – ideal for high-quality knives.
  • Easy-care: Oiled oak is durable and easy to clean.
  • Esthetic: The distinctive grain and warm color make each board unique.

A good example of a handmade cutting board made of solid oak can be found here: The CHEF BOARD – our classic in five sizes.
