Epicurean cutting boards are primarily manufactured from a composite material. This material consists of wood fibers sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper. These fibers are then compressed with a food-safe resin under high heat, resulting in a durable and non-porous surface suitable for food preparation.
The composition of these cutting boards contributes to several beneficial characteristics. The density of the material makes it knife-friendly, reducing dulling effects on blades. Furthermore, the non-porous surface inhibits the growth of bacteria, enhancing food safety. The manufacturing process also creates a heat-resistant product, allowing for the placement of hot pans directly on the surface without causing damage. This particular construction aligns with sustainable practices, utilizing recycled materials and promoting responsible forestry.
