CHABRET cutting board "gruyère" design Studio QOOQ

A unique board, both playful and authentic!

The fruit of a fruitful collaboration between the Chabret workshops and the QOOQ design agency, this "gruyère" board offers a unique and original design, combined with impeccable manufacturing quality.

Since 1885, Chabret craftsmen have accumulated over a century of expertise in top-of-the-range boards and logs. For the past 8 years, QOOQ has been producing exceptional designs that combine modernity and simplicity.

The hornbeam wood that makes up these logs, thanks to its slow growth and rigorous selection in the forests of the Jura, is naturally extremely durable. What's more, Chabret's cabinetmakers use the "bois de bout" assembly technique to get the very best out of this noble material. Composed of an assembly of blocks cut perpendicular to the wood fibers, these planks feature the fibers across their width. As a result, the knocks and shocks it suffers during cutting are directed in the direction of the fiber. The worktop absorbs them much more effectively than when they are applied perpendicularly. There's no risk of your board splitting or chipping. This technique guarantees an exceptionally durable utensil.

And because it remains smooth and un-notched, your board reduces the risk of bacterial growth. The result is a professional-quality log that complies with NF food hygiene standards and will always remain clean and healthy, even after intensive use.

Care instructions :

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.
