Large Double Handled Serving Board | Wood Charcuterie Board | 495 x 130mm | Churchill Alchemy FA672

Q: Is this board made from a single piece of wood?

A: Commercial boards like this are typically constructed from sections of quality hardwood, bonded together for superior strength and  to prevent warping over time.

Q: Can I chop or cut food directly on this serving board?

A: It's best to avoid using it as a primary chopping block to protect the surface finish. It's fine for guests to cut cheese or meats on it, but heavy-duty prep should be done elsewhere.

Q: How do I remove stains or strong smells like garlic?

A: For stubborn stains or odours, you can scrub the board with coarse salt and  half a lemon. This acts as a natural abrasive and  deodoriser. Rinse well and  re-oil afterwards.

Q: What kind of oil should I use for maintenance?

A: Always use a food-grade mineral oil. Avoid using cooking oils like olive or vegetable oil, as they can go rancid over time.

Q: Will the board stain from serving things like beetroot or berries?

A: A well-oiled board will resist most stains. If a stain does occur, cleaning it promptly will minimise any long-term marks. The colour will likely fade with subsequent washes and  oiling.

Q: Is the wood from a sustainable source?

A: Churchill, like many reputable manufacturers, is committed to responsible sourcing. They work to ensure their wood products come from managed and  sustainable forests.

Q: Can I use this board for hot items?

A: It's designed for cold or warm presentations like antipasti and  cheese. Placing sizzling-hot pans directly from the oven is not recommended as it could scorch the wood.

Q: Does the wood impart any flavour to the food?

A: No, when properly cleaned and  maintained, the food-safe wood and  finish are completely neutral and  will not impart any taste or odour to your dishes.
