Deer & Oak
Chopping Board Oil
Food grade mineral oil, 100ml or 250ml
Hydrate, restore and protect. Odourless, tasteless and colourless, for boards, blocks, bowls and utensils.
Why a board needs oiling
A wooden board loses moisture every time it is washed. Left dry it goes grey, the grain opens up, and eventually it warps or splits along the joins. None of that is repairable once it has happened.

Oil replaces what the washing takes out. It sinks into the grain, keeps the board stable, and brings the colour back on wood that has already started to dull.

Mineral oil is the right oil for the job because it never goes rancid. Olive oil and vegetable oil will, and a board treated with them eventually smells of it.
Which size do you need
Both bottles are the same oil. Pick the size from the dropdown above.
100ml
One or two boards, or a set of utensils. Enough for several applications and a sensible way to try it.
250ml
A kitchen full of boards, blocks and worktops. Better value per millilitre and it will last months.
Four steps, once a month
1
POUR
A little goes a long way. Pour a small amount straight onto a clean, dry board.
2
SPREAD
Work it into the grain with a cloth or kitchen roll, covering both faces and the edges.
3
LEAVE
Overnight is ideal. In a warm kitchen an hour or two is often enough for it to soak in.
4
WIPE OFF
Take off anything that has not absorbed. The board should feel dry, not greasy.
A new or very dry board will drink the first coat and want a second. After that, once a month is plenty for a board in regular use, or whenever the surface starts looking dry and pale.
One bottle, the whole kitchen
Not just the board it came for.
