Taking proper care of your charcuterie board is essential to maintain its longevity and prevent the harmful growth of bacteria.

To prevent swelling and cracking, avoid immersing in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow time to air dry. After using the charcuterie board, clean it immediately with warm, soapy water using a soft brush or sponge to scrub off any residue. Tip: you can also cover it with a layer of plastic wrap to maintain a barrier between your delicious charcuterie and the board.

To disinfect the charcuterie board, you can use a mixture of vinegar and water or a food-safe disinfectant spray. Apply the solution, let it sit for a few minutes, and then rinse with warm water.

We’ve already started this board off right but to maintain the board’s luster, prevent it from drying out, and repel water, treat it with food grade mineral oil. Apply a small amount of mineral oil, spread it evenly with a cloth, and let it soak in for a few hours or overnight. Wipe off any excess oil. Then, apply the food grade beeswax to add an additional layer of protection.
