Ziruma Non-Toxic Acacia Wood Chopping Board, Mineral Oil Free, 41x28cm

Description

• 𝗡𝗼 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗶𝗹, 𝗡𝗼 𝗣𝗙𝗔𝗦—𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝘀𝘄𝗮𝘅 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗶𝗹𝘀: Most wooden chopping boards on the market are conditioned with mineral oil—a petroleum byproduct you'd rather keep out of the food your family eats. Ours isn't. We finish every board by hand with a clean blend of unbleached beeswax, flaxseed oil and lemon oil that nourishes the timber and leaves a food-safe surface. No synthetic coatings, no PFAS, no hidden nasties.
• 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘄𝗼𝗼𝗱—𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮: Plastic boards get scored by the knife and shed microplastics into your food; bamboo boards are glued composites that warp over time. Acacia is a dense hardwood with naturally occurring tannins and oils that make it far less hospitable to bacteria and mould—a sensible choice for daily prep without the trade-offs.
• 𝗙𝗦𝗖-𝗖𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿—𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲: Most wooden chopping boards never tell you where their timber comes from, and rather too often it's linked to deforestation. This one carries Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, meaning the hardwood is traceable back to forests managed to proper environmental and social standards.
• 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀—𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗘𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘀: Glass, steel and bamboo surfaces blunt good knives quickly. Acacia sits in the sweet spot—firm enough to cut cleanly against, soft enough to spare the edge—so your chef's knife keeps its sharpness through far more prep sessions before it needs honing.
• 𝟮.𝟱 𝗰𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸—𝗛𝗲𝗳𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗨𝘀𝗲: At 2.5 cm thick and 40 x 28 cm across, this board has the weight to stay put on the worktop while you chop, carve or plate up. The added depth resists bending, cracking and the flimsy feel of thinner boards—built to last well beyond the boards you'd normally bin after a year or two.
