Know before you buy
The cheese block is crafted from locally sourced hardwoods in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Because these are natural materials, each piece may feature unique grain patterns and color variations.
To preserve the wood, hand wash the block with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, and periodically re-apply a food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood conditioned.
While the stainless steel knife is durable, we recommend hand washing it to maintain the integrity of the hand-forged finish and ensure the handle remains in top condition.
While it is sturdy enough for light slicing, it is primarily designed as a serving piece. Using it as a heavy-duty cutting board may cause surface marks over time, though these can add to the rustic character of the wood.
Yes, each block is finished with food-grade oil, making it completely safe for serving cheese, charcuterie, and other appetizers directly on the surface.
