To ensure the longevity of your charcuterie board, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: After each use, gently hand wash the board with warm, soapy water. Avoid soaking it, as excess moisture can warp the wood. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean its surface.
• Drying: Dry the board immediately with a clean towel. Stand it upright or place it in a well-ventilated area to ensure it dries completely.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or other harsh chemicals as they can damage the wood and affect the flavor of food.
• Conditioning: Periodically apply food-grade mineral oil or a specialized cutting board oil to replenish moisture and enhance its appearance. Depending on usage, oil the board every few weeks or whenever it looks dry.
• Storage: Store the board in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause it to crack or warp.
• Avoid Heavy Scraping: Use knives and tools that will not scratch the surface, and avoid using the board as a cutting board for heavy-duty cutting.
