Due to its high content of tannic acid, oak is ideal for cutting boards as it has an antibacterial effect. If you treat the surface from time to time with tasteless cooking oil, the board will retain its smooth, supple feel and will last you for a long time. Our cutting boards are glued for additional robustness and longevity. This process prevents warping and cracking and gives the wood room to move. Of course, we only use food-safe glue. »Leni« is not just an accessory, but a statement of quality and elegance that enriches your kitchen. lenilenileni
