Cutting board CHABRET by F. Bauchet 36x27cm French made

Les ateliers Chabret present theirmodern yet authentic billot, designed in collaboration with French designer François Bauchet.

Established since 1885 in the Loire region, Les ateliers Chabret have always sought to combine traditional woodworking methods with modern techniques. This has been achieved with this log, designed by renowned designer François Bauchet. By combining pure, elegant lines with the rusticity of solid hornbeam wood, Chabret has succeeded in offering a log with a timeless lustre, equally at home in a modern kitchen or a more rustic setting.

While the design of this log is one of its strong points, it is also a perfect technical achievement, the fruit of over 100 years of accumulated know-how by Chabret craftsmen.

For example, the technique used on this worktop, bois de bout , has been a Chabret specialty since the company was founded. This technique uses wood cut perpendicular to the grain, as if it were being sliced. In this way, the resulting work surface presents the wood fibers in their full width. Shocks and blows during cutting are directed in the direction of the fiber, which absorbs them much more effectively than when they are applied perpendicularly. So your board can't split or crumble. This technique, combined with the careful selection of the finest hornbeam from the forests of the Jura, guarantees you a board ofexceptional durability.

Manufactured to NF food hygiene standards, this professional-quality log will always remain clean and healthy, even after intensive use.

The world's top chefs have all remarked on the quality of Chabret products. Alain Ducasse equips the kitchens of his restaurants around the world. Butcher Hugo Desnoyer has had his exceptional butcher shop in the 16th arrondissement of Paris supplied by Chabret artisans. Chabret boards have even shone on television! They were supplied to candidates in a certain TV show.

Care and maintenance :

If wood is not regularly nourished, it tends to warp: wood works, shrinking and expanding under the effect of humidity and temperature, eventually causing cracks. To avoid this, this type of high-end board needs to be maintained with mineral oil or special waxes. After each wash, dry the board with a cloth. Once dry, coat with cutting-board oil and rub with a cloth or paper towel. Ideally, oil the board until it no longer absorbs oil. We recommend oiling the board once a week.
