Why Choose Mineral Oil for Chopping Boards?
Mineral oil is widely regarded as the best mineral oil for cutting boards because it penetrates the wood rather than simply coating the surface. This deep hydration helps prevent cracking and warping while keeping harmful bacteria from seeping into the grain. As it is flavour-neutral, it will never taint your food, and although made in an environment where allergens are present this mineral oil is made without nut oil which is commonly used when conditioning chopping boards. Regular use also makes subsequent cleaning easier, extending the life of every board, butcher’s block and wooden utensil you own.
How to Apply Our Mineral Oil
Start with a clean, thoroughly dry board. Pour a small ribbon of oil down the centre, then use a lint-free cloth to massage it over the surface and edges in the direction of the grain. Allow the board to absorb the oil for at least six hours, or overnight for very dry wood, then wipe away any excess and buff to a gentle sheen. For heavily used boards, repeat once a week for the first month, then drop back to a monthly top-up; for newer or lightly used boards, once every four to six weeks is usually sufficient.
Compatible Surfaces & Kitchenware
This food-safe cutting board oil is perfect for all kinds of chopping boards, end-grain and edge-grain, butcher’s blocks, wooden spoons, salad bowls and even bamboo utensils. It is not suitable for varnished, lacquered or painted wood, as it needs direct access to the grain to work effectively. It will not work on plastic, glass or composite boards; these materials benefit more from a quick sanitising rinse than an oil treatment.
