Know before you buy
The board is crafted from natural slate, which provides a durable and elegant surface for serving cheeses and charcuterie.
Yes, the solid brass Ginkgo leaf accents are decorative elements integrated into the design, adding a sculptural, artistic touch to the functional slate board.
No, because the board is made from natural slate, each piece features unique veining and color variations. You can expect your specific board to have its own distinct character.
We recommend hand-washing both the board and the knife with mild soap and water. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can damage the natural stone and the brass finish.
The included knife is designed for serving and slicing soft to semi-hard cheeses. For very hard or aged cheeses, you may prefer using a dedicated heavy-duty cheese blade.
