Made in our home and crafted for yours, the John Boos 5-Ounce Boos Black Board Cream was designed to elevate and extend the use of your favorite wood kitchen tools. The John Boos Board Cream is made from all-natural ingredients, ensuring it’s safe for food-preparation surfaces. It penetrates deep into the grain of the wood to protect and revitalize the wood fibers, preventing the drying, splitting, and cracking of cutting boards, bowls, or kitchen utensils. Instructions: Apply an even coat of Boos Board Cream to all surfaces of your wood cutting board using an applicator. Allow the Board Cream to fully penetrate the wood fibers overnight, then wipe off any excess oil. Apply additional cream to any visibly dry spots. Use at least once per month (depending on the cutting board use and household conditions) and more often in dry or arid climates. Do not over-moisturize your cutting board. For additional protection, use Boos Block Mystery Oil (sold separately) to seal the top of the wood surface. Since 1887, John Boos & Co. products have been the choice for renowned chefs and restaurateurs worldwide. Through a legacy of workmanship, innovation, and devotion stemming from our founder to employees past and present, John Boos & Co. aspires to be recognized worldwide as a touchstone at the heart of cooking and the enjoyment of food.
