Know before you buy
Yes, this oil is specifically formulated for kitchen essentials like cutting boards and countertops, making it safe for food-prep surfaces once applied and absorbed.
For best results, apply the oil whenever the wood begins to look dull or feels dry to the touch. Routine maintenance every few weeks or months, depending on how frequently you wash the board, will help prevent cracking.
This product is designed to penetrate and nourish raw or unfinished wood surfaces. It is not intended for use on wood that has been sealed with varnish, lacquer, or polyurethane, as those finishes will prevent the oil from soaking in.
When applied correctly, the oil should be fully absorbed by the wood fibers. Simply wipe away any excess liquid with a clean cloth after application to ensure a smooth, non-greasy finish.
The oil will deepen the natural tones of the wood grain, giving it a richer, more vibrant appearance. It does not contain stains or dyes, so it will enhance the existing color rather than changing it.
