The natural advantages of Paulownia wood

Paulownia, also known as empress tree, has several unique properties that make it perfect for kitchen use. The low weight of just 450 grams makes the board easy to handle and move around the kitchen. The wood's structure is soft enough to be gentle on knife blades, meaning less wear on your quality knives. At the same time, it has a natural resistance to moisture, which reduces the risk of bacterial growth and extends the board's service life.

Practical results in your kitchen

The quick-drying property means you need not worry about a constantly damp board, even after intensive use. After cleaning, the board dries quickly, reducing the risk of warping and cracking over time. The soft surface protects your knife edges so they stay sharp for longer and require less maintenance. At just 450 grams, it is also easy to handle, clean, and store.

Care and durability

To preserve the board's qualities, it should be hand-washed with mild washing-up liquid and dried thoroughly after use. Please note that it is not dishwasher safe, as the high heat and moisture can damage the wood. With proper care, this Paulownia chopping board will remain attractive and functional for many years. The minimal moisture absorption also means less maintenance compared with other wooden chopping boards.

With this Tojiro Paulownia chopping board you get:

• A lightweight board that is gentle on your knives

What is the best way to clean my Paulownia chopping board?
Wash it by hand with mild washing-up liquid, rinse thoroughly, and leave it to air-dry upright. Avoid soaking it or using a dishwasher.
