OIL-FINISHED COUNTERTOPS AND CUTTING BOARDS:
Oil-finished countertops and cutting boards by Hudson Block Co. utilize a food safe virgin mineral oil with Vitamin E stabilizer to protect the wood from drying and cracking. The finish, which meets FDA requirements for direct and indirect food contact, is produced in the absence of allergenic materials such as nuts and gluten. Proper maintenance will preserve the beauty and integrity of the solid butcher block countertop or cutting board for the duration of use.
Oil-finished butcher block countertops and cutting boards by Hudson Block Co. receive multiple coats of food grade mineral oil and conditioner prior to shipment. An additional coat of food grade mineral oil over the entire surface area is recommended prior to use as drying may occur during the transition from production to delivery. Re-application of either mineral oil and/or suggested conditioner is recommended to preserve the moisture content within the butcher block.
