Know before you buy
Yes, the board is finished with food-safe mineral oil, making it perfectly suitable for serving charcuterie, cheeses, or appetizers.
Wipe the board clean with a damp cloth after use and avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. To maintain the finish, periodically reapply a food-grade mineral oil to keep the white oak hydrated and protected.
The lip serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose. It acts as a secure edge for sliding items onto the board or holding them in place, while also providing a distinct, architectural silhouette that sets it apart from standard flat serving boards.
Like all natural brass, the inlay may develop a light patina as it is exposed to air and oils from food. If you prefer a brighter look, you can gently polish the brass with a soft cloth, taking care to avoid getting polish on the wood grain.
While the board is durable, its primary design is as a functional art piece for serving and display. Frequent heavy chopping may scratch the wood and dull the brass inlay, so we recommend using it primarily for presentation.
