The benefits of wooden chopping boards

Whether you are a professional chef or a home cook, chopping boards are essential in any kitchen!

Today, wooden chopping boards are popular for several reasons - durability, gentleness on knives, and studies suggest wood can absorb and kill bacteria. They also offer a natural, aesthetic appeal and can be used for preparing and serving, making them a versatile kitchen tool.

CSI has created a range of wooden boards made from Camphor Laurel.  Camphor Laurel boards are viewed as one of the safest surfaces for the preparation of food, due to the anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties in the timber.  The handcrafted boards are made by people in custody learning the craftsmanship of woodwork.  Each board is designed and crafted to highlight the wood grain in the creating unique pieces of art.

CSI boards come in a variety of sizes, but our current favourite is the super handy ‘mini’ board – perfect for your cheese wedge, drink and snack or to rest your hot plates.
