New Java teak cutting boards

The new cutting boards and chopping blocks by Biomaderas from Indonesia are here! They were made in a small factory on Java handmade. The products are manufactured according to the high ecological and social standards of the FSC® worked.

fair and sustainable

The wood comes from slow-growing teak trees on Java itself. The teak forest was planted in the nineteenth century by the then Dutch colonial powers. The forest is now being sustainably forested. Both the manufactory and the forest are FSC®-certified for exemplary forest management and fair production.

Chopping blocks with teak end grain

The rectangular one Chopping block N°601 is made from so-called teak end grain. The chopping block is made from squared timber pieces cut across the grain. The effect: the cutting surface is made from the hardest side of the wood - the heartwood.

The chopping block is particularly durable and gentle on knife blades. The annual rings are clearly visible and give each block an individual look. The chopping blocks are easy to move thanks to the milled handles on the sides. The feet on the back ensure a secure hold on the work surface and good ventilation on the underside.

One-piece breakfast board

The Breakfast board N°101 are our smallest cutting boards. The unique wood pattern of the teak tree in its golden brown shade can be seen across the surface. Here too, each board is unique.

The Cutting boards N°103 and N° 105 are composed of lengthwise pieces of wood. When gluing, care was taken to ensure a harmonious overall picture across the entire surface. Sturdy but thin: with a thickness of about 1 to 1,5 cm, they are not too heavy and can be used and stowed away in different places in the kitchen.

The best wood for cutting

Teak is the ideal wood for cutting boards and for use in the kitchen: it is particularly resistant and durable to moisture. Compared to domestic wood species, teak has the lowest risk of cracking and splintering.

Teak wood chopping blocks and cutting boards should be wiped with a damp cloth or cleaned briefly under running water. They do not belong in the dishwasher. From time to time we recommend oiling them with the Biomaderas Cutting Board Oil or plain cooking oil.
