For cutting or serving, as a cheese board or tapas board, here are our cutting boards made of walnut wood. Handcrafted by professional artisans, these boards are perfect for the amateur cook as well as the professional chef. The wood comes from old walnut trees that no longer produce fruit and are cut down to be replaced by young trees. The fruit of the walnut tree brings in more income than the wood itself. It's the way to be sure that we use sustainable resources.
