    Wooden Cutting Board Oil Osmo Cutting Board Oil is suitable for treating all types of wooden cutting boards. The oil is certified "Food Safe," meaning that once the oil has dried, it is safe to consume from the cutting board without any risk of harm. The ingredients of this product are based on natural plant oils and waxes and are therefore harmless to humans, animals, and plants after drying. Because the ingredients are natural, the treatment has an open-pore structure that allows the wood to breathe. The wood is not sealed after treatment. Osmo Netherlands Cutting Board Oil 3099 is colorless and dries matte. After treatment, the wood has a matte sheen, as if it had been wetted. This makes the wood's grain beautifully visible, and the color of the wood is deepened. After treating the wooden cutting board with the oil, it is protected against moisture such as water, fruit juice, cola, and coffee. Cleaning a wooden cutting board After using a wooden cutting board to cut meat, fish, or vegetables, it's always a good idea to clean it. Because Cutting Board Oil is resistant to water and chemicals, it can be cleaned with water and dish soap. Occasionally cleaning the cutting board with Spray Cleaner will nourish the treatment and the wood, preventing it from drying out. This is because Spray Cleaner contains oil-based soaps.

Oil for a wooden cutting board

Treat a wooden cutting board with Osmo Snijplank Olie. It is food-safe and made from natural, plant-based oils and waxes. The wood is not sealed with varnish but can keep breathing, and once dry it is protected against water, fruit juice and coffee.

Snijplank Olie 3099

Snijplank Olie 3099 is clear and dries to a matt finish. The wood becomes slightly deeper in colour, as if it has been wetted, which brings out the grain beautifully. Apply the oil thinly with a lint-free cloth or pad, following the grain, and buff away the excess. Let the board dry for 8 to 10 hours before using it again. One litre covers about 24 m² per coat.

Cleaning after use

After cutting meat, fish or vegetables, rinse the board with water and a little washing-up liquid. Then dry it and leave it to dry standing upright, so air can reach both sides. Do not put the board in the dishwasher or leave it lying in water. Cleaning it now and then with the Spray-Cleaner nourishes the wood and stops it from drying out.

When to treat it again

If the board looks dull or feels dry and rough, it is time for a new thin coat of Snijplank Olie. When renovating, apply no more than one coat, otherwise the second coat will not adhere well.

Serving boards and kitchen countertops

For a serving board, you can also use TopOil. It is also food-safe and suitable for tables and kitchens. If you are also treating a wooden kitchen countertop, use TopOil there.
