Walnut cutting board
A walnut cutting board is the stylish choice among wooden cutting boards: deep chocolate brown, with a fine closed grain and a calm pattern. It blends in beautifully on a dark worktop and creates an elegant contrast on a light one. The wood is slightly softer than acacia or oak, and your knives will notice: the surface gives a little under the edge, so the edge is put under less strain. If you take your kitchen knives seriously, that is the main reason to choose it.

Features of a walnut wood cutting board
A walnut cutting board sits in the middle when it comes to hardness, and that is exactly why knife makers like working with it. Hard enough to last for years with proper use and maintenance, yet soft enough not to blunt the edge of your chef's knife. Its dark colour and calm grain make light signs of use less noticeable, though you will still see deeper cut marks.
Do expect a higher price. Walnut wood grows slowly and is therefore more expensive than, for example, beech or acacia wood, so you are buying something made to last rather than a board for quick jobs.
Keep the wood dark and nourished with a monthly treatment with cutting board oil, and keep it out of the dishwasher. Without oil, walnut gradually turns dull grey. Want to compare the wood types side by side? You can do that in our wooden cutting boards.
