Product description

Mineral Oil / Petroleum	Used to condition cheap wood boards; petroleum-based oils can transfer to food and may carry contaminants linked to long-term health concerns.
Formaldehyde Glues	Often found in bamboo or glued-together boards; formaldehyde can release fumes and migrate into food, affecting respiratory and immune health.
Melamine	A hard plastic resin used in some plastic boards; can leach chemicals when scratched or exposed to heat, linked to kidney and urinary health issues.
BPA & Plasticizers	Common in plastic cutting boards; heat and repeated knife cuts accelerate chemical release, affecting hormones and reproductive health.
Microplastics	Plastic boards shed microscopic particles with every cut; these fragments accumulate in organs and contribute to inflammation and cellular stress.
Forever Chemicals (PFAS)	Used in some “non-stick” or treated boards; PFAS accumulate in the body, impacting hormones, liver function, and long-term immune health.

Why doesn’t Ziruma use mineral oil on its cutting boards?

Some cutting boards use low-grade, petroleum-derived mineral oil that can transfer to food over time. Ziruma boards are finished with a food-safe, petroleum-free wax made from natural ingredients like beeswax, lemon oil, and linseed oil.
Are wooden cutting boards better than plastic ones?

Plastic cutting boards can develop deep knife grooves that trap moisture and food residue over time. Some studies have observed that wood surfaces behave differently, which is why many people prefer hardwoods like acacia for everyday food prep
Why is this Ziruma cutting board 1 inch thick?

A 1-inch thickness provides extra stability for everyday home cooking. Thicker boards resist warping, stay firmly in place, and hold up to daily use—bringing professional-inspired durability into your kitchen.
Does this cutting board damage knives?

No. Acacia wood is firm yet gentle on knives, helping keep blades sharper for longer compared to hard surfaces like stainless steel, titanium, glass or marble.
How do I care for and maintain a wood cutting board?

To care for your acacia wood cutting board, wash it by hand with warm water and mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking or dishwashers. Applying food-safe oil or beeswax helps prevent drying and keeps the wood in great condition.
