Each one of my boards has four to five coats of mineral oil before being put on sale. Mineral oil comes from crude petroleum oil, a fossil fuel, through distillation and refining processes, making it a liquid byproduct of gasoline production, used widely in food contact materials due to its purified, colourless, and odourless nature. Regular (two teaspoons every 2-4 weeks) use of this oil will nourish your wooden board and not only keep it looking good but stop it from going brittle over time.

250ml bottle size

I would suggest washing your board, letting it dry naturally, adding two teaspoons of mineral oil to the board and rubbing in with a lint free cloth (keep the cloth in a zip lock bag for use next time). Allow to dry overnight and then continue using as normal.
