Three Woods. Three Characteristics. Three Excellent Choices. 

Tanzo Cutlery offer's three premium domestic hardwoods, each selected for specific qualities that make them the finest cutting board materials in the world:

• Maple is the gold standard of cutting boards. It’s tight, fine grain creates a naturally bacteriostatic surface meaning it inherently resists bacterial growth. Maple’s hardness protects your knife edge from degradation while being forgiving enough to extend blade life. It’s pale, elegant appearance provides a timeless aesthetic that never goes out of style. When you choose maple, you’re choosing the same wood preferred by professional kitchens and culinary schools worldwide.
• Cherry offers a sophisticated middle ground. With it’s warm, rich reddish-brown tones, cherry is a gorgeous wood which develops a beautiful patina over time, becoming uniquely yours as it ages. Cherry’s density naturally inhibits bacterial growth, making it an excellent choice for both food safety and visual elegance. It’s the choice for those who want understated luxury with proven performance.Walnut provides unmatched visual drama and surprising durability. It’s deep chocolate tones make it a statement piece on any countertop, while it’s hardness protects your investment in quality knives.
• Walnut’s natural oils provide inherent resistance to moisture and bacteria. Choose walnut when you want your cutting board to be as beautiful as it is functional.

This isn’t just a cutting board. It’s an extension of your culinary intention. Our prep board absorbs the impact of each cut, protecting your blade's edge. The wood’s natural properties are hard enough to provide stability and food safety, while yielding enough to preserve your knife’s razor-sharp edge. Each board arrives dipped in food grade mineral oil, ready for immediate use.

Care & Maintenence

• Maple: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Condition monthly with food safe mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying and cracking. Maple’s tight grain makes it the lowest-maintenance option.
• Cherry: Hand wash gently and dry promptly. Due to its moderate density, cherry benefits from conditioning every 4-6 weeks with mineral oil to maintain its luster and protect the wood from moisture absorption. Avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher cleaning.
• Walnut: Hand wash and dry thoroughly. While walnut’s natural oils provide inherent protection, condition every 8-12 weeks with mineral oil to enhance its grain and maintain its rich patina. Walnut’s durability means it improves with age and proper care.

Never use harsh chemicals, bleach, or place any of these boards in the dishwasher. These boards are handcrafted to last generations, please treat them accordingly.
