What Makes Hinoki Wood Special
Crafted from solid Hinoki wood, also known as Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa; Japanese: 檜 or 桧, Hinoki), these boards are an eco-friendly choice that combines practicality with timeless beauty.
Hinoki boasts natural insect-repellent properties, reducing unwanted visitors in your food prep zone.
An added benefit is the calming "Hinokitiol" aroma that graces the air as the wood dries, transforming everyday chopping into a mini sensory spa experience.
But Hinoki's appeal extends beyond aesthetics and environmental benefits. The wood's unique composition offers a resilient yet gentle surface for your knives. Unlike the harsh impact of plastic boards, Hinoki absorbs the force of chopping, protecting your blades and keeping them sharp for longer.
Sustainability at the Core
Sourced from responsibly managed conservation forests, these Hinoki cutting boards align perfectly with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
These versatile boards transcend their chopping duties, transforming into elegant serving platters. With a simple switch, your culinary creations go from prep station to presentation stage in a flash, adding a touch of sophistication to your table.
So, not only are you opting for a sustainable choice, you're also elevating your kitchen experience with the beauty and functionality of Hinoki.
