Know before you buy
No, the board is crafted from durable slate. The 'shagreen' refers to the textured finish, which is designed to mimic the look and feel of natural stingray leather.
This set is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing both the board and the knife with mild soap and warm water, then drying them immediately with a soft cloth to maintain the finish.
No, this piece is not oven or microwave safe. It is designed specifically for serving and presentation purposes at room temperature.
To keep the surface looking its best, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals. Simply wipe it down after use and store it in a dry place to prevent any potential moisture buildup.
The coordinating knife is designed primarily for serving and slicing soft to semi-hard cheeses. For very hard or aged cheeses, you may prefer using a dedicated heavy-duty cheese cleaver.
