Berkel Acacia Chopping Board (395 x 275mm)

The Berkel acacia chopping board measures 395 x 275mm with a 26mm thickness, a generous size for everyday prep that stays put on the worktop without moving around under the knife. Acacia is one of the harder hardwoods available for kitchen use, dense enough to resist scoring and gentle enough not to blunt your knives. The same board works just as well on the table for cheese, charcuterie or bread, so you're not carrying two pieces of kit for the same job.

Acacia Wood Construction

Acacia is a dense, close-grained hardwood that holds up well under daily use. It's harder than beech or rubberwood, which means it resists deep scoring over time, and it's gentler on knife edges than glass or ceramic surfaces.

• Solid acacia wood construction
• Dense grain resists deep scoring over time
• Naturally kind to knife edges
• Natural variation in grain pattern on each board

Size and Stability

At 395 x 275mm, this board gives you enough room for most everyday prep tasks without taking over the worktop. The 26mm thickness keeps it stable during use and it won't flex or shift when you're working through harder vegetables or a loaf of bread.

• 395 x 275mm cutting area
• 26mm thick for a solid, stable feel
• Suitable for meat, vegetables, bread, cheese and charcuterie

Use as a Serving Board

The acacia grain gives the board a clean appearance that works well at the table as well as in the kitchen. It's a practical choice for putting together a charcuterie spread or a cheese board without needing a separate serving piece.

If you use a Berkel food slicer, the acacia board makes a natural companion for serving sliced meats directly from prep to plate. For a board designed to attach directly to your slicer, see the Home Line Plus Slicer Cutting Board or Red Line Slicer Cutting Board.

First Use and Seasoning

Season the board with oil before using it for the first time. This protects the wood and takes only a few minutes.

• Apply a teaspoon of olive oil to a cloth and wipe evenly across the entire surface
• Stand the board vertically and allow to dry fully
• Repeat the oiling process a second time and allow to dry again
• Check the oil has been absorbed before first use
• The board will appear slightly darker after oiling (this is normal)

Cleaning and Maintenance

Hand wash only. Do not put this board in a dishwasher. Regular light maintenance keeps the surface in good condition and helps manage food odours over time.

• Hand wash only, do not use in a dishwasher
• Rinse with hot water after washing and dry with a clean cloth
• For monthly deep cleaning: sprinkle the surface with salt and rub with half a lemon
• The salt lifts food residue; lemon juice reduces odours
• Rinse thoroughly with hot water after this process

About Berkel

Berkel has been making slicers since 1898, when Wilhelmus Adrianus van Berkel patented the original hand-cranked flywheel design in Rotterdam. The company's design and product work is based in Italy today, and that same mechanism still runs through the Volano range alongside the electric slicers and knives.
