Why You Should Use Separate Chopping Boards for Raw and Cooked Foods
Whether you are an avid cook, head of the family chef or just a "I like keeping it simple" type of cook, TruWood is here for you.
Caring for your TruWood cutting boards, paddles and platters, is a very simple process.
+ After each use (cutting or serving), wash your board with hot soapy water.
+ Allow the cutting board to fully dry before storing it away.
+ In the event your board looks dry, please oil it lightly with an edible oil such as grapeseed oil.
+ Never put the cutting board in the dishwasher
+ Do not leave out in the sun
+ Do not leave boards soaking in water.
Due to the boards' natural antibacterial property, you will not need to rub salt or lemon on your TruWood board to disinfect it.

Each of our cutting boards are made from sustainable wood such as camphor laurel timber.
What is Camphor Laurel?
Camphor laurel (Cinnamomum camphora) is an evergreen tree which grows up to 20 metre in height. It has a large, spreading canopy and a short, stout trunk that grows up to 1.5 metres in diameter.
These trees thrive in areas of high rainfall and can grow on a wide range of soil types.
Camphor laurel has been declared an environmental weed class 3 in Queensland, and is a problem weed along riparian areas of most of Queensland and Northern New South Wales. The trees produce an invasive weed that has an ecological harmful effect on natural ecosystems within Queensland’s landscapes.
Why Camphor Laurel?
Camphor laurel is naturally anti bacterial because of the natural oils that can be found in the timber. It has been considered the most effective food preparation surface when it comes to reducing microbial growth.
