Wood is a living material that can last for years and remain intact if cared for properly. At Mej, we’ve always believed that regular maintenance is essential to preserving the quality and beauty of our butcher blocks and cutting boards.
We use premium woods such as black locust, ash, maple, beech, which are dried in-house to guarantee maximum durability, and treated with food-safe varnishes and oils to ensure safety and reliability.
Caring for your wooden cutting boards
To keep the surface of your wooden products in top condition, we recommend mechanical resurfacing once a year or as needed, depending on the level of wear. This treatment helps prevent grooves that are difficult to clean and sanitize. After resurfacing, it’s essential to apply natural mineral oil, which nourishes and protects the wood without changing its structure. Another important factor is breathability: avoid covering the work surface with polyethylene caps, as this prevents the wood from breathing and encourages the growth of fungi and bacteria.
A natural material that deserves care
Our butcher blocks and cutting boards are professional-grade, biodegradable, and ideal for food preparation. However, they require daily cleaning and regular maintenance to ensure their longevity, hygiene, and optimal functionality.
With proper care, a Mej product is more than just a tool, it’s a testament to craftsmanship and authentic Made in Italy quality.
