Beech wood mezzaluna board – square or round

Fresh parsley, a few sprigs of rosemary, a handful of chives – and in moments everything is finely chopped. With a beech wood herb board and a matching mezzaluna, seasoning your food becomes effortless: the board sits firmly on the worktop, the blade rocks evenly back and forth, and the scent of the herbs rises as you chop. Made for your kitchen – whether it's a quick weeknight supper or Sunday lunch.

What changes for you

• You can chop herbs and spices with very little effort – because the rocking motion of the 14 cm wide stainless steel blade works much faster than an ordinary kitchen knife.
• Your board stays put while you chop – thanks to its solid 2.5 cm thickness, which gives the herb board a reassuring weight and a stable footing.
• You can prepare food with complete peace of mind – because the smooth beech wood surface has a food-safe oiled finish.
• You'll find exactly the combination that suits you – choose between a square or round board, a single or double blade, on its own or as a set.
• Your board can happily stay out on display in the kitchen – the light, wood-grain surface looks natural and tidy at the same time.

Why this herb board makes a difference every day

If you love fresh herbs, you'll know the hassle of boards that slip about and the fiddly business of chopping finely. With this well-matched pair of board and mezzaluna, it becomes a calm, easy motion that almost happens by itself. You'll reach for fresh ingredients more often because the journey from herb pot to plate is so short – and your kitchen gains a touch of warm, natural charm along the way.

Material & finish

The board is made of beech wood with a light, smooth, wood-grain surface – pleasant to handle and finished with a food-safe oil, so herbs, spices and other foods can be prepared directly on it. Careful craftsmanship and production in the EU mean you'll enjoy your board and knife for a long time. The mezzaluna is made of stainless steel and is available with either a single or double blade. And because wood is a completely natural material, every board has its own grain: sometimes lighter, sometimes darker, occasionally with small knots – not a flaw, but exactly what makes each piece unique.

Good to know about the mezzaluna

The mezzaluna – known in German as a "rocking knife" – takes its name from the typical rocking motion used to guide its curved blade over the food. This technique has been used in kitchens for generations because it chops herbs evenly with very little effort – which is exactly why mezzaluna and board still belong together today, making a sensible addition to any wooden chopping board in the kitchen.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply wipe the board and knife with a damp cloth after use – done. Please don't put them in the dishwasher, as constant moisture and heat aren't good for the wood. That way, the oiled surface and light look will last for a long time, with no effort at all.
