Serving Board Acacia Wood Oval Small

The oval serving board small is the smallest size in this range and therefore the board for the smaller jobs. A single portion of meat, a few slices of cheese, olives and bread, or the side dish you want to keep separate. The board is solid acacia wood: hard, sturdy and with a grain that runs from honey brown to dark.

When to choose an oval serving board small

Small boards are often underrated. They're especially handy if you serve per person, if you want to fill a table with several boards side by side, or if you want to keep something separate because not everyone eats the same thing. It also works well as a trivet for a small cast iron pan or a dish.

• Compact size, ideal for a single portion or a few snacks
• Solid wood, no veneer or pressed fibre
• Oval shape with no sharp corners, easy to pass around
• Combines well with the medium and large boards on one table
• Takes up little space in the cupboard

How to use it

Cut with a sharp knife and long strokes, so marks in the wood stay shallow. Place something wet, like marinated vegetables or dip, in a small bowl on the board rather than directly on the wood. For meat: let it rest first, then carve.

Maintenance

Hand wash in warm water, rinse briefly and dry standing upright. Rubbing in a thin layer of vegetable oil a few times a year keeps the wood nourished and the colour deep.
