Chopping and Cheese Boards

I am very excited about these boards I am introducing, my mother and I have been using these for years but I am just now starting this as a business and my official website should be finished in about a week to 10 days. Being Australian makes me proud to introduce something, handcrafted in Australia, by a solely run family business. Where they have prided themselves of not only being Eco friendly, but concentrating there time on producing some of the most beautifully handcrafted chopping and cheese boards you will ever see, with every attention payed to detail and quality

As a chef and someone who has catered, hygiene in the kitchen is of up most importance to me as well as having a quality product that is durable. I am using all my kitchen products often and have tested quite a few different chopping boards over the years and have found most wear out quite quickly. Plastic is not only a non-renewable resource but marks easily and if like me you use a lot of fresh produce like herbs and chillies you end up with shades of green and red as the food impregnates itself into the grain.

Also unlike other wooden chopping boards that are joined in several places, these boards come from one piece of timber so over time the board does not come apart like other wooden boards. Here are two that are not made from camphor laurel one is 8 months old and one is 15 months old not only are both split, but you can start see some of the discolouration from food. I do recognise there are boards out there that have been injected with anti-bacterial properties, but there is no guarantee that over time and repeated chopping it will break down as it is not a naturally occurring property throughout the wood.

I am aware that these boards carry a far heftier price tag than boards made from other materials. Unlike other boards these chopping board will probably last you until you take your last earth side breath.


These boards unlike others, have a naturally occurring anti-bacterial/microbial properties, which makes it one of the most effective food preparation surfaces as it inhibits bacterial growth.

I am also one for Eco friendly and doing what we can to make sure what we buy is coming from a sustainable source. This wood is made from the camphor laurel tree; this species is an invasive woody weed capable of aggressively replacing native trees along watercourses and on soil types which formerly supported rain forests. The infestation and spread of Camphor Laurel is aided by birds dispersing the seed and its spread is particularly prevalent in disturbed landscapes, thereby contributing to soil erosion and the demise of native Flora and Fauna.

Camphor Laurel has long been recognized as a serious environmental weed species in Australia, and control programs advocate integrated removal and replacement with native trees. Salvaging of Camphor Laurel provides a good source of ethically acceptable timber.

Whilst the photos I am posting give you an idea of the beauty of these boards nothing can do them justice like seeing them and feeling them first hand.
