Tamarind Wood Butcher Block : Single Block

An underrated material for chopping boards and butcher blocks, tamarind wood has been a reliable companion for professional butchers in India for ages. With its naturally antimicrobial features, high strength, and durability, matured tamarind wood chopping boards and butcher blocks provide a knife-friendly chopping surface that adds a rustic charm to your kitchen and home. Perfect for chopping and cutting meat and vegetables, but also serves as a charcuterie board.

Features and Benefits

Durability: Tamarind wood is known for its durability. Aged tamarind wood is rugged, durable, and strong. Often used in building boards, construction sites, and furniture, tamarind wood is known for its heavy-duty use in various industries. It is resistant to cracks and warping with proper care.

Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness: Sourced from fallen trees at Amra farms and surrounding areas, we ensure responsible and sustainable farming practices. We replace every tree used with a new one to maintain balance. We do not use chemicals or glues in manufacturing our chopping boards.

Natural Beauty and Unique Appearance: Unlike woods used for furniture, tamarind wood, though extremely durable and weight-bearing with its heavy-duty nature, has a different appearance. It is light-colored and has distinct grain patterns, making every piece unique.

Multipurpose Use: Our tamarind wood butcher blocks are a bit heavy at 2-inch thickness but can be used for more than chopping meat and vegetables:

1. Chopping and Carving Meat, Vegetables, and Fruits: As a durable and food-safe chopping surface, our tamarind wood chopping boards add value to your kitchen.
2. Serving Tray: Serves as a serving tray, especially in the kitchen area, to serve cheese and pizzas.
3. Trivets for Protecting Surfaces: Use this 2-inch thick chopping block on your dining table to protect the surface from hot pots and pans.

Easy Maintenance: The tamarind butcher block is treated with food-safe coconut oil for a smooth, glossy finish. We recommend oiling your board once a week with any food-safe oil, preferably coconut oil. Maintenance of the tamarind wood butcher block is required after every use. Wipe clean and rinse with warm water. Use mild soap. Do not use hard wires.

Regular Oiling: Oil your board once a week to maintain hydration. Simply clean the board with warm water, dry it, and apply edible, food-grade cooking oil to the surface and let it soak in. Wipe with a dry cloth after 15-20 minutes.

Stain Removal: Use hydrogen peroxide or a baking powder paste on the stained surface area. Clean with a soft bristle brush and rinse after 5 minutes. Oil your board after stain removal.
