Sophior Black Walnut End-Grain Wooden Chopping Board, 50×40×4,5 cm

The largest walnut work surface, made for those who cook spaciously and intensively The SOPHIOR black walnut end-grain chopping board measuring 50×40×4,5 cm is the largest and heaviest model in the range. This is no ordinary chopping board: at 4,5 cm thick, it is a serious piece of equipment that serves as a work surface, chopping block and serving board all at once. Made from North American walnut (Juglans nigra) in an end-grain construction, with the fibres standing vertically and their ends facing upwards, allowing the bundles of fibres to move partially aside under light cuts. Juglans nigra is widely regarded as the most prized wood for chopping boards. The deep, warm brown tones with a lively grain pattern make this board just as suitable as a centrepiece on the table as a work surface in the kitchen. With a Janka hardness of approximately 1.010 lbf, walnut is hard enough for everyday chopping, yet soft enough to be gentle on a good chef’s knife. The vertical fibres absorb the cutting motion and close againSpecificationsBLACK WALNUT END GRAIN - North American Juglans nigra, widely valued as premium chopping-board wood, with deep warm brown tones and lively grain, WORK SURFACE AND CHOPPING BLOCK IN ONE - 4,5 cm thick end grain with vertical fibres: knife-friendly and made for spacious, intensive cooking, LARGEST SIZE 50x40x4,5 CM - SOPHIOR’s most spacious model: a full-size work surface for large preparations and whole cuts of meat, OIL AND BEESWAX FINISH - Clean with lukewarm water, dry immediately and re-oil regularly; never put in the dishwasher, STATEMENT IN THE KITCHEN - An eye-catching feature on the worktop and table, also suitable as a serving board for drinks and snacks; an impressive gift for serious cooks,100% FSC-certifiedMaterial: WoodColour: BrownDimensions: 50cm x 40cm x 4,5cm
