Wood Short polenta cutting board

Inspired by unfading traditions, this polenta cutting board is made from a cedar trunk section, debarked and cut into slices. The timber is naturally seasoned in the open air for more than one year and treated with natural vaseline oil to allow contact with food, while the natural cracks are filled with wooden dowels. The block’s size and height match perfectly with its function, as placing steaming hot food on the wood will not cause a thermal shock; the iron band in the middle contains the solid timber; moreover it is adjustable according to temperature and humidity to follow the natural movement of wood, which shrinks or expands accordingly. The presence of small cracks does not represent a defect but it is a natural characteristic of wood, signs of a living material and in continuous change. The screw system is inspired by the wood blocks used by professional butchers. A genuine taste of full-flavoured tradition.
