Oak cutting boards are a popular choice among home and professional chefs alike because of several features that set them apart from other types of cutting boards:
-
Durability: Oak is a hard and dense type of wood, making it more resistant to knife cuts and scratches. This means that with proper care, an oak cutting board can last for many years.
-
Hygiene: Oak has a closed wood surface, which makes it less susceptible to moisture and germ formation. This makes it a good choice for cutting boards as it ensures a clean and hygienic surface for food preparation.
-
Knife friendliness: Oak has a dense, hard surface that is gentle on knife blades and helps keep them sharper for longer.
-
Aesthetics: Oak is a beautiful wood species with a striking pattern, making it a stylish and attractive addition to any kitchen.
-
Sustainability: Oak is an available and sustainably sourced wood species, making it an eco-friendly choice for a cutting board.
