Walnut Tapas Board

Made of gorgeous walnut, this cutting board is perfect for the serious cook.  Because walnut is a fine-grained wood of medium hardness, you get the best of both worlds: it has good strength and durability but will be easier on your knife blades than other wood. It’s assembled using the edge grain of the wood to show off the naturally gorgeous colors of walnut.

This cutting board is 12 inches long, 9 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick.  This makes it a small and lightweight choice for smaller kitchens or casual chefs.  It may be small, but it’s still strong – as with all our cutting boards, this one is quality-constructed to stand up to years of use.

We’ve protected this cutting board with a blend of beeswax and mineral oil that penetrates the wood and helps seal it. However, to preserve it properly, never submerge it in water. Simply wipe it off with a damp sponge and then hand-dry it to keep it looking great. You will also need to coat your board with mineral oil from time to time as the finish will wear with normal use. Be sure to purchase food-grade mineral oil for this task.

Many people who entertain like to buy several smaller boards rather than one large one. This way they can also be used as serving boards as well as cooking tools. A table looks lovely set with multiple wooden cutting boards used to display fine food. However you decide to use it, this cutting board will be one you are proud to have in your kitchen.
