Exceptional Chabret cutting board in hornbeam 45x35cm

Bring 100 years of French savoir-faire into your kitchen!

Since 1885, the Chabret workshops have been making exceptional kitchen logs in Saint-Bonnet-le-Château (Loire). Thanks to this century of experience, Chabret now produces exceptional logs and cutting boards that are both authentic and aesthetically pleasing.

Produced entirely in France, each board is the fruit of a meticulous manufacturing process. From the rigorous selection of hornbeam wood in the forests of the Jura to manufacture in the Chabret workshops in the Loire, nothing is left to chance.

Thanks to their process of using "end grain" wood, the craftsmen who make these exceptional utensils get the very best out of hornbeam. Long renowned for its strength, the wood of this slow-growing tree is extremely difficult to split. By cutting the wood at right angles to the trunk fibers to create cobblestones, Chabret cabinetmakers create a worktop with unrivalled shock-absorbing capabilities. Knife blows or shocks during cutting are applied in the direction of the fiber, so the log cannot chip or break.

And the reward for all the care and know-how incorporated into these logs is irreproachable quality in every respect. Robust, your cutting surface will stand the test of time. Manufactured to NF food hygiene standards, it will always remain smooth and healthy.

It's this know-how and the care taken in production that have earned the Chabret workshops the "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" label and membership of the Ateliers d'Art de France. Alain Ducasse uses Chabret in his kitchens around the world, and Hugo Desnoyer has equipped his butcher's shop in the 16th arrondissement of Paris with Chabret products.... So much so, in fact, that these products even came to light on the small screen, as they were fitted out for the contestants in a famous cooking show!

And while it stands out for its sturdiness, the aesthetic aspect is not to be outdone. The nobility of the wood combined with careful construction and finishing give Chabret cutting boards a timeless lustre, equally at home in a modern kitchen or a more rustic environment.

Care instructions :

If wood is not regularly nourished, it has a tendency to warp: as wood works, it shrinks and expands 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.
