Acacia Wood Tray/Cutting Board

Yes, acacia is a medium-density hardwood that provides a forgiving surface for knife edges. It is significantly gentler on blades than glass, stone, or plastic boards.

Hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a towel. To prevent the wood from drying out or cracking, apply a food-safe mineral oil or wood conditioner every few months.

While the board is dual-purpose, it is best practice to designate one side for raw proteins and the other for serving to avoid cross-contamination. Because wood is porous, it is generally recommended to use a separate plastic board for raw meat if you plan to use the same surface for serving.

With a length of 28 1/4 inches and a width of 10 inches, this board offers a substantial surface area. It is well-suited for hosting and can comfortably accommodate a variety of cheeses, meats, crackers, and fruits for a group.

Acacia is naturally durable and resistant to moisture, but like all wood products, it can react to extreme temperature changes. Avoid placing it in the dishwasher or soaking it in water, as these actions will cause the wood to warp or split.
