Beech wood chopping board – serving and cheese board, oiled

Your guests are already at the table. The cheese is waiting in the fridge. And you need a board that can do both: cutting and serving. A beech chopping board like this one makes the choice for you. You cut straight on the oiled surface and carry the board to the table. Your bread and cold cuts look lovingly arranged – as if made for your laid table.

What changes for you

• You don't have to move everything onto platters and plates. The board works as a chopping board, serving board and cheese board in one.
• Your table looks warmer and more inviting without any extra decorating. That's thanks to the strongly grained heartwood beech surface.
• You cut calmly and safely. The stave-glued board is 2 cm thick and sits firm and stable.
• You'll find the shape that suits your table. Rectangular for a classic bread and cold cuts spread. Round as a cheese board or as the centrepiece of a buffet.
• Looking after the board takes very little effort. A damp cloth is all you need to clean it.

Why this wooden board makes a difference every day

A board made of real wood changes the mood at the table. Cheese, ham and bread look more natural and appetising on it than on smooth porcelain. At breakfast it sits at your place as a breakfast board. In the evening it becomes a cheese board for guests. And you feel you've put out something lovely with just a few simple steps. This calm, understated effect is exactly what makes wood so pleasant in the kitchen.

Material & finish

The board is made of heartwood beech with a smooth, clearly grained surface. It feels pleasant in the hand, and the grain stands out on the table. The stave-glued construction and careful finish keep the board stable in shape, so it will last you a long time. The oiled surface is ready for direct contact with food. You can cut cheese on it and serve it straight away. Wood is a purely natural material, so every board turns out a little differently. Different shades, small knots and fine irregularities in the grain are part of it. They make your board one of a kind – they are not a defect. Made in the EU.

How to use your cutting board

• At breakfast: everyone gets their own small board, or the large board goes in the middle. The day starts with a laid table that looks like the weekend.
• In the evening as a cheese board: you cut straight on the oiled surface and put the board on the table. Your cheese platter is ready, with no extra crockery.
• For a bread and cold cuts spread: ham, bread and herbs are ready on the wood. You cut more as needed. Everything stays in one place.
• In a café or on a buffet: as a serving board, it lets you present cheese, cold cuts or pastries in a uniform, tidy way. The round and rectangular formats combine well.
• In catering: fill the boards, set them out, done. Setting up is quick, and the food looks neatly presented.

Good to know about beechwood

Beech has been one of the classic kitchen woods for generations. It is hard and dense, and it copes with cuts better than many softer woods. Heartwood beech has a particularly lively, strong grain. The surface looks just as good when you're cutting as when you're serving at the table or on the buffet.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. After use, simply wipe the board with a damp cloth. It shouldn't go in the dishwasher. Constant moisture and heat are hard on wood. With this simple care, your board keeps its smooth surface and typical beech grain for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I cut food directly on the board? Yes. On the oiled surface you can, for example, cut cheese and serve it straight away. At the table or on the buffet, the board doubles as a cheese board.

Can the board go in the dishwasher? No, the board is not dishwasher safe. Only clean it with a damp cloth. That's all it needs, and it's gentle on the wood.

Why does my board look different from the picture? Wood is a natural material: lightness, grain and small knots vary from board to board. That's exactly what makes each piece one of a kind.

Which sizes and shapes are available? The beech chopping board comes in a rectangular version at 30 x 20 x 2 cm and a round version at Ø 30 cm x 2 cm. You can choose depending on availability.
