How to clean a Charcuterie board:

• Towel dry

 

How to care for a Charcuterie board:

•  Never put away wet

• To rejuvenate the board, lightly rub with a wax mixture of beeswax & mineral oil or just mineral oil, once a month depending upon use. This will keep the board looking beautiful & protect the wood from moisture that will cause warping. Make sure your board is clean & dry before applying wax. To apply the wax, evenly coat all surfaces using a cloth or paper towel

• Concerned over staining of the board? Add a  piece of parchment paper slightly smaller than the size of your board. The parchment paper will prevent your favourite meats, cheeses etc. from leaving grease stains

• Remember never submerge your board in water or run through the dishwasher.

• Moisture, direct sunlight & heat can all cause your board to warp.
