I enjoy treating all the wooden items in our house and this product has kept them in great condition and looking as good as new. On my third bottle, although I only need to use it every 3 or 4 months.

This oil is key to keeping cutting boards and untreated wood surfaces hydrated and smooth. Used in conjunction with the Boos cream it keeps wood surfaces looking like new.

The product is one of a two part system for oiling cutting boards. I was impressed with how quickly my order was processed and received. The bottle was very well sealed . It is perfect for sealing and refurbishing the wood as the board dries out over time and with use. It is easy to use and works well.

People online said to use mineral oil but mineral oil is toxic so we looked for a popular item recommended for food use. Does what it says. You don’t need a lot so it’s a shame the bottle isn’t half the size.

Block oil has been a game-changer for maintaining my chopping block. This remarkable product delivers exceptional results with its non-oily formula, making it a breeze to apply without leaving any greasy residue behind. Cleanup is a breeze, as the oil absorbs quickly into the wood, leaving no sticky or slick surface. The best part is the long-lasting shine it imparts on my chopping block, keeping it looking as good as new. Even with frequent use, the block oil provides a protective barrier that helps prevent the wood from drying out or cracking. I appreciate the high-quality ingredients used in this product, as it gives me confidence that I'm caring for my chopping block in the best way possible. Block oil has become an essential part of my kitchen routine, ensuring my chopping block stays in top-notch condition for years to come.Quite pricey though, but still cheaper than buying a new block.

This was purchased originally because the reviews all over the net were all positive. Still, I did do some research because the title Mystery oil had me curious. So found out the contents of Boos Mystery Oil is..65% white oil (which further research indicates in Mineral Oil, a petroleum distillate) and 35% Linseed Oil and 2% Orange Oil.Okay so its food grade..That being said you still must wash the board you have between uses. Pretty much all cutting board brands instructions always say do not to immerse in water. So i heed that warning butI do use soap and water on it after each use combined with a good rinse under the tap. This is because a simple wipe over with a cloth will just not get it clean after cutting meat on it.When you want to use the oil its is good idea to put on some plastic gloves because the bottles contents are irritating to the eyes. The last thing you want to is show up for work the next day looking like you smoked a weed factory.The product itself is very thin and only a little needs to be used. Spread it around on one side then flip the board over and do the same on the other. Imo it is good to have a raised rack after to put this on. you. Then place paper towels underneath in case it drips. Now all you need to do is step back and admire your work. The next day just wipe down the excess and voila you’re done. YOU ARE welcome.

I can't believe I've gone so long without using a proper oil for my cutting boards.I've always cleaned them but they've each been brought back to life since using this oil. There are instruction if you're unsure how to use it.Perhaps the only negative thing I can think of is price. I don't understand why Boos charges so much for it, but I won't stop using it. At least it lasts a long time and doesn't degrade. And now my cutting boards will also last a life time.

Excellent product, wish there were Indian makes to choose from but if you need food grade mineral oil this seems to be the only item available. If someone reading this knows of an Indian outlet that sells food grade mineral oil please leave a reply.
