Michael Aram Orchid Cheese Board and Knife

The marble is natural stone and is porous. While it is durable, we recommend avoiding leaving highly acidic foods or dark liquids like balsamic vinegar or red wine on the surface for extended periods to prevent potential staining.

The nickel-plated metal accents should be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then dried immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting the board in the dishwasher, as this can damage the finish.

The included knife is designed primarily for serving and spreading soft to semi-soft cheeses. For very hard, aged cheeses, it is best to use a dedicated cheese cleaver to avoid putting undue stress on the decorative handle.

Yes, the board is designed with protective feet on the underside to ensure it sits securely on your tabletop and prevents the marble from scratching delicate surfaces.

Yes, the marble provides a substantial, stable base that stays firmly in place during use. Its weight is one of the primary benefits, offering a solid foundation for serving.
