Frequently Asked Questions

- All of our charcuterie boards are made right here in Canada, using the highest quality hardwoods.

- Yes, each board is crafted from hardwoods grown in Canada.

- Wood products should never be put in the dishwasher. It causes them to unglue and to deteriorate. Use warm water with a mild detergent, rinse in clean water and air dry. That’s all you need to keep your boards in good shape for years.

- All the glue used in our charcuterie boards is food grade and totally safe.

- No, you can’t put the charcuterie board in the oven. The glue will dry, and the hardwood will dry and split.

- Rinse your board right after you use it. At that point or later use a cleaner with anti-bacterial properties for a deeper clean.

- Both baking soda and coarse salt work well. Start with a dry charcuterie board and sprinkle it well with the baking soda or the salt. Use a wet brush or a sponge to scrub out the stain. You may need to repeat the process more than once to get out deep stains.

- White vinegar works well. Put vinegar in a spray bottle and spritz your board when you notice odours. Vinegar not only neutralizes bad smells, it also helps to disinfect the board naturally.

- Oiling your charcuterie board periodically, depending on its use, will add to its attractiveness and durability. Every cutting board will last for years, but using mineral oil on it helps to protect it and extend its life.

- Choose a food-grade oil like mineral oil, a combination of beeswax and mineral oil, or one of the commercial charcuterie board oils and creams that are sold in kitchen supply stores. Thoroughly clean your charcuterie board before you apply the oil, then air dry it. Apply the mineral oil with a paper towel or soft, clean cloth. Put an even coat on all surfaces. Let the wood absorb the mineral oil for several hours. Then wipe it down with another clean cloth or paper towel. Many people find it convenient to put the oil on the board in the evening, then wipe it off in the morning.

- Hobbyists and crafts people use charcuterie boards for slicing, sorting and assembling. They are also helpful in the workroom for the do-it-yourselfer and the handyman, useful for splicing, sorting and cutting.
