Beevitalise Board & Bowl Restore

When it comes to kitchen utensils, nothing gets quite as much abuse as the humble wooden chopping board, whether that’s at home or out at camp, and to keep my boards in tip-top shape I got my hands on a tub of Beevitalise Board and Bowl Restore.

With no additives, solvents, silicons or thinners, Beevitalise is just a lush mix of natural plant based oils and beeswax that’s not only perfect for chopping boards, but as the name says it can also be used on wooden salad bowls, butcher's blocks and platters.

At Turner Towers we don't actually have any wooden boards as such, but we do have bamboo ones, and serendipitously this Beevitalise can also be used on bamboo. I used it on both my Cobb and rubber edged bamboo chopping boards. I tested it out by just applying it to half of each board, and then took the pictures.

Although you can’t really see the detail on the photos, it did a great job of reinvigorating the boards, and hiding the knife marks.

Beevitalise nourishes the wood, adds greater waterproof protection, and makes it look great too, and is handmade and ethically sourced in the UK.

Simple to use - just apply a small amount on the cloth provided, and using circular movements rub in well, then wait until completely dry and using the buff ball (included), bring to a natural luster.

They recommend that once you establish a good base repeat the process three to four times a year to keep in top condition.
