Howard ProductsFood Grade Mineral Oil for Wood Cutting Board - 12 oz, Pack of 1

I was gifted a large, 24 x 30-inch, 2-inch thick unfinished butcher-block cutting board. After doing a little research on how to seal it, I bought this food-grade mineral oil. It was very easy to apply using some folded paper towels. It has no smell, and absorbed very nicely. I waited an hour for the first coat to absorb/dry, and then applied a second coat, then an hour after that, a third coat. I've been using the cutting board for quite some time now, and it's been washed countless times (no dishwasher!). The finish is holding up very well. If I were to see any signs of the wood drying out, I'd apply another few coats, but it hasn't seemed necessary yet. The three coats that I applied used about half of the bottle, so I'm prepared for another coating when/if necessary.

I really like this product. I have a butcher block island so it naturally gets a lot of use and sees a lot of cleaning time. I like how easily this product goes onto the butcher block, how easy it is to apply, and how refreshed my island looks after its done.

Came across this oil when I was looking up how to preserve wood cutting board. The oil worked just as described. I got crazy a bit on oiling my many cutting boards, knife holders, utility caddy, serving trays, still look for any wood items to use these on. I sanded many of these items first before I oiled them. Turn out great.

We use a lot of this and it lasts a long time

I don't like my butcher block countertops but this oil is great! It makes my counters look new and fresh. Easy to apply and doesn't take long to dry. Would recommend to those with any type of wood countertops.

Good product for my cutting boards

I recently bought this oil for our stained butcher block counters, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it’s transformed them! It gives the wood a rich, hydrated look and creates a fantastic waterproof barrier for cooking and prep. Plus, there’s no weird smell or residue left behind.

I have a chopping block that had some black water damage. I had to look up what grit to use and how to know when to stop sanding. Used three coats of this oil which absorbed almost immediately. Excellent food grade product I’ll be using on my wood cutting boards.
