The board's naturally soft surface protects your knives against unnecessary wear, while its low moisture absorption ensures quick drying and reduces bacterial growth.

Ideal for everyday cooking when you want a lightweight board that is gentle on your quality knives and easy to keep clean.

Gentle on knives and wrists

The naturally soft surface of Paulownia wood protects the edges of your knives against unnecessary wear. This means your knives stay sharp for longer and require less frequent sharpening. At just 830 grams, the board is also considerably lighter than traditional chopping boards made from harder woods. The low weight makes it easy to handle, move, and clean – a real advantage in busy kitchens or for those with limited hand strength.

Quick-drying for better hygiene

Empress tree has the remarkable property of absorbing significantly less moisture than other types of wood. This means the board dries quickly after cleaning, which naturally inhibits bacterial growth and extends the board's service life. The low moisture absorption also reduces the risk of the board warping or cracking over time. For optimum durability, hand-wash with mild washing-up liquid and allow to air-dry – the board is not dishwasher safe.

Paulownia wood with Japanese quality

Paulownia, or empress tree, is one of the fastest-growing tree species in the world. Tojiro, which has been manufacturing kitchen tools since 1955, combines this natural resource with Japanese craftsmanship. The result is a chopping board that unites functionality and quality in a single product. The light colour of the wood also lends an elegant look to the kitchen.

• An ultralight board that is gentle on both knives and wrists
