A solid wood cutting board Made in France is a kitchen essential that is resistant, beautiful, and designed for everyday cutting. Handcrafted by French artisans, each board in our collection combines the warmth of wood, durability, and respect for the sharpness of your knives. Unlike plastic, wood does not warp, remains pleasant to the touch, and adds character to your countertop.
Our boards are available in several wood species (oak, beech, acacia) and several sizes, from the express model for daily use to the large XXL board for prepping like a chef. All are manufactured in France, in workshops near the forests where the timber is sourced, for a controlled and responsible short supply chain.
Which wood should you choose for your cutting board?
The choice of wood species depends on the use and the desired finish. Here are our three types of wood and what sets them apart.
Oak cutting board
Oak is a dense and noble wood with a distinct grain. Highly resistant to wear, it patinas over time and is suitable for both daily cutting and presentation. It is the wood species with the most pronounced character in our range.
Beech cutting board
Beech offers a fine, uniform grain that is light and discreet. Gentle on blades, it is a kitchen classic—balanced and versatile, ideal for everyday use.
Acacia cutting board
Acacia is recognized for its contrasting and warm veins. Naturally dense and stable, it is as aesthetically pleasing as a cutting board as it is as a serving board for appetizers.
What size cutting board should you choose?
From the compact model to the countertop board, each size meets a specific need.
- Express board: versatile size for quick everyday cutting (herbs, fruits, vegetables).
- Grand chef board: generous surface for comfortable cooking, including meat and large cuts.
- XXL cutting board: large solid wood board for voluminous preparations and serving at the table.
- XXL countertop board: the largest size, designed to be used as a true workspace in the kitchen.
Personalized and engraved cutting board
Several of our boards can be personalized via engraving. A personalized wooden cutting board (first name, message, logo) makes for a durable and unique gift for a wedding, housewarming, or corporate event. The engraving is done with respect for the wood, without altering its cutting surface.
Wood vs. plastic: which material is healthier?
Wood is a living material with natural properties that are advantageous for a cutting board. It does not develop deep grooves like worn plastic, and it better preserves the edge of your knives. With proper maintenance (hand washing, immediate drying, regular oiling), it will accompany your cooking for years. A solid wood board is also a more ecological choice than a plastic one, provided it is maintained correctly.
Frequently asked questions about wooden cutting boards
What is the best wood for a cutting board?
There is no single best wood: oak for its character and density, beech for its gentleness and versatility, acacia for its warm aesthetics. All hard and dense woods are suitable for a quality board.
How do I clean and maintain a wooden cutting board?
Clean the board with warm water and a soft sponge, then dry it immediately. Never put it in the dishwasher and do not let it soak. Once a month, apply a thin layer of food-grade oil (flaxseed, grapeseed, or special wood oil) to nourish and protect the surface.
Does a wooden cutting board have any downsides?
Wood requires regular maintenance and does not like the dishwasher or standing water. In return, a well-maintained board lasts for years, develops a beautiful patina, and remains gentle on your blades, whereas plastic degrades more quickly.

Made in France
Opting for a Made in France cutting board means supporting local craftsmanship. All our wooden kitchen creations are manufactured in French workshops, as close as possible to the forests where we source our wood species. This short supply chain ensures controlled production, respectful of both the material and the environment. We enhance the warmth of oak, the nobility of beech, or the strength of ash, lovingly crafted by local artisans. The result: durable, aesthetic, and responsible boards that
exude French culinary design.
Handmade
Each board in our selection is handcrafted by passionate woodworkers. The wood is planed, cut, and sanded to reveal its smoothness. The edges are softened, the wood grain enhanced, and each finish is unique. This manual work gives each board its character: a unique piece. Unlike industrial products, our boards have a story to tell: that of the wood, the artisan, and the cuisine they showcase. You hold in your hands an object of character, designed to last.
Eco-friendly products
We have opted for natural, sustainable, and renewable materials. Our wood comes from sustainable forests, where biodiversity and regeneration are at the heart of our concerns. No unnecessary chemicals: wood breathes, lives, and ages naturally. Manufacturing locally also means limiting our carbon footprint by avoiding unnecessary transportation. By choosing a solid wood board instead of a plastic one, you are making a gesture for the planet and gaining in quality and aesthetics. Ecology can be beautiful, useful, and sustainable.
Maintaining your cutting board
It is easy to clean. To keep your wooden board looking good for a long time, here are a few simple tips:
Cleaning the board: Use lukewarm water and a soft sponge, then dry immediately for optimal hygiene. Do not put in the dishwasher, do not let it soak, and do not use abrasive cleaners that could warp or dry out the wood. Once a month, apply a thin layer of food-grade oil (linseed, grapeseed, or special wood oil) to nourish the surface, maintain its natural protection, and ensure maximum durability. If light marks appear, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper will be enough to smooth the surface. Well-maintained, your board will only become more beautiful with time.
