Cut wedges of brie into slices and soft round cheeses into wedges (it's totally fine to leave portions of cheese whole). Place small bowls of tapenade, olives, honey, or jam on the board. Add color by filling large blank areas with sliced fruit, then place your crackers and nuts across the board in clusters.
They can also be used as marble cutting board and help you in smooth cheese cutting experience.
Plus: You can use color to make your board pop. Epoxy is food safe when cured.
Epoxy resin allows you to make your charcuterie board truly one-of-a-kind. With multiple colors to choose from, combined with your own creativity, the possibilities are endless.
A clear epoxy such as CHILL SEALER is the best sealant for a charcuterie board. It provides a durable, food-safe finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood.
Mineral oil: This is a non-drying oil that soaks into the wood, coating the fibers and preventing them from absorbing moisture. It's safe for human consumption and doesn't wash off, making it a practical choice for charcuterie boards.
Beeswax and mineral oil is fine. No matter what you use (I've put many charcuterie / cheese boards through their paces) the finish will wear off and you will just have to live with a fuzzy board, or offer to resand/oil it for her every year(ish).
Create a one-of-a-kind, food safe charcuterie board with Watco Butcher Block Oil and Tinted Super Glaze epoxy resin. Sand your charcuterie board with a #150- to #220-grit sandpaper and remove all sanding dust. We recommend Gator Finishing sanding products.
Epoxy and resin make a hard and slippery surface that will ruin your knives and is unsafe because your knife can easily slip and twist as you cut.
