Board Oil & Care

Keep your wooden chopping and serving boards in good condition with food-safe mineral oil and board butter from Moat & Grain.

Explore our board-care products for conditioning dry wood and maintaining its finish. Follow the instructions on each product page and the care advice supplied with your board.

 Board Oil or Board Butter? 

Mineral oil conditions the wood when your board starts to look dry. Board butter combines oil and wax to condition the surface and help maintain its finish.

You can use them together, applying the mineral oil first and following with board butter according to the product instructions.

When should I condition my board?

Condition your board when the wood looks dry or its colour appears faded. How often it needs care depends on use, washing and storage. Follow the instructions supplied with your board.

Can I use cooking oil instead?

Avoid ordinary cooking oils such as olive or sunflower oil, which can become rancid and leave unpleasant smells. Choose a food-safe product intended for wooden chopping boards.

Does board oil clean or disinfect my board?

No. Oil and board butter condition the wood; they do not replace cleaning. Hand-wash your board, dry it thoroughly and apply care products to a clean, dry surface.
