Chestnut Food Safe Finish is a clear, food-grade mineral oil designed specifically for wooden items that come into contact with food.
The thin oil penetrates into bare timber, helping to condition and protect the wood while maintaining its natural appearance. It provides resistance to water splashes and everyday use without tainting or affecting food.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish is particularly suitable for wooden bowls, chopping boards, serving boards, wooden utensils and other food-contact wooden items.
When finishing wooden items that are intended to come into contact with food, it is important to use a product specifically designed for this purpose. Chestnut Food Safe Finish provides a simple way to protect and maintain suitable wooden kitchenware.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish is suitable for a variety of wooden items that come into contact with food.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish is ideal for wooden bowls intended for food use. The mineral oil penetrates into the timber to help protect the wood while retaining its natural appearance.
It provides resistance to water splashes and everyday handling without creating a thick surface coating.
Wooden bowls may require additional applications over time, particularly if they are regularly washed or heavily used.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish can be used on suitable wooden chopping boards and serving boards where a food-safe finish is required.
The oil helps condition the timber and provides protection against everyday moisture while maintaining the natural appearance of the wood.
Regular washing can gradually remove the oil, so additional applications may be required to maintain the finish.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish is suitable for wooden kitchen utensils and other timber items that come into contact with food.
It can be applied to suitable wooden spoons, serving utensils and similar items to help maintain and protect the timber without adding a strong colour or noticeable surface coating.
For the best results, apply the Food Safe Finish to clean, smooth and bare timber.
Allow the finish to dry thoroughly before returning the item to use. The amount of oil absorbed will depend on the type and condition of the timber.
Wooden kitchenware and food-contact items can require regular maintenance, particularly when they are frequently washed or exposed to moisture.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish can be reapplied when the timber begins to look dry or when the protective effect of the oil has reduced.
Simply ensure the item is clean and dry before applying another thin coat of Food Safe Finish. Remove any excess oil from the surface and allow it to dry thoroughly before use.
Not every wood finish is suitable for items that come into contact with food. Chestnut Food Safe Finish has been specifically formulated as a food-grade mineral oil for food-contact wooden items.
It differs from finishes that are simply resistant to food or moisture. When finishing chopping boards, bowls, utensils and other food-contact timber, it is important to choose a product intended for this type of application.
Chestnut Food Safe Finish is particularly useful when you want to maintain the natural appearance and feel of the timber without creating a heavy surface film.
