Chopping block end grain oak

Made of native European oak. The cutting board is comprised of blocks cleanly cut across the grain and glued together. The result is a working surface that shows the hardest side of the wood. This model is made in Hesse and is only available from Manufactum.

due to its high component of tannic acid, oak is especially bacteria resistant. In longer contact with the tannic acid food may become discolored, which from a food hygiene standpoint is inconsequential. To clean the block, just wipe it off with a damp cloth. We also recommend the occasional application of some cooking oil.
