Wooden Cutting Boards
Design
End grain wood is indisputably more resistant to knife cuts than grain wood. Kitchen professionals prefer end grain surfaces for good reason. The manufacturing technique is complex and time-consuming. Such a board is formed by assembling more than 180 small blocks.
Food safety
Bacteria that manage to get between the wood fibers die of asphyxiation. Furthermore, plastic can leave small synthetic particles right on the food you're cooking. A butcher's block made from a natural material that's safe for your health is the best option, hands down. Food safety is of the utmost importance in meal preparation. Wooden cutting boards are an essential part of this process. Wood has natural antibacterial properties that help reduce the proliferation of germs, unlike other materials like plastic.
Wooden cutting boards, especially those made from durable species, also provide a work surface that protects knives from wear and tear. This durability is essential to keeping kitchen utensils in good condition and ensuring the safety of food preparation. Proper maintenance of these boards, including regular cleaning and the use of mineral oil, will contribute to their longevity and hygiene. It is also advisable to reserve separate boards for meat, fruit and vegetables to limit the risk of cross-contamination. By adopting these practices, users of wooden cutting boards can not only benefit from their aesthetics and functionality, but also improve food safety in their kitchens...

Why choose a solid wood cutting board over plastic?
Contrary to popular belief, a solid wood cutting board is more hygienic than plastic. Wood possesses natural antibacterial properties that trap and eliminate bacteria. Furthermore, our walnut, maple, and cherry boards are much gentler on your knife edges, preventing them from dulling quickly, while providing a stable and durable work surface.
How to properly maintain and oil your handcrafted butcher block?
To preserve the beauty of your handcrafted butcher block, never submerge it in water and avoid the dishwasher. Clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it immediately. To prevent the wood from warping, regularly apply food-grade mineral oil or beeswax. This maintenance nourishes the wood fibers and creates a protective barrier against moisture and odors.
What is the difference between a long-grain cutting board and a butcher block?
The main difference lies in the orientation of the wood fibers. A butcher block (often made of end-grain) is designed so that the knife blade slides between the fibers rather than cutting them, making the board virtually "self-healing" and protecting your blades. Our "Poisson" cutting boards combine this professional robustness with elegant design, making them both a high-performance tool and a magnificent presentation piece for your gatherings.
