What customers say
This Lipper Olive Wood Cutting Board earns high praise for its exceptional aesthetic quality and perceived durability. Consumers frequently call it a stunning piece of functional art, appreciating the rich, unique grain patterns that make every 18-inch board distinct. Its substantial size is ideal for both heavy chopping and elegant serving. The density of the olive wood suggests excellent longevity and resistance to wear.

Despite a higher initial cost, most buyers feel this premium board offers strong value, positioning it as a long-term kitchen staple or a thoughtful gift.
Know before you buy
Yes, each board is finished with a food-safe oil, making it perfectly suitable for preparing and serving food.
This board must be hand-washed only; do not soak it or place it in the dishwasher. To maintain the wood's luster and prevent drying, periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner.
No, each board is unique. Because they are hand-carved from a single piece of olive wood, you should expect variations in grain pattern, color, and shape.
This board is designed with a specific top surface and is not reversible. It also does not feature non-slip feet, so you may want to place a damp towel underneath it to keep it stable during use.
While olive wood is dense and durable, this board is best suited for light-to-medium prep work and serving. Its 0.75-inch thickness makes it an excellent choice for charcuterie and presentation rather than heavy-duty cleaving.
