What is BeeNew?
Long story short, it is our own blend of beeswax and FDA approved, food safe mineral oil. It is the perfect consistency to apply to wood boards used for food. It requires a minimal amount for coverage and is easy to use.
It is a blend of Beeswax & mineral oil and will work into the pores of your board and keep it protected from bacteria. It also minimizes knife marks and scratches. It even makes your hands feel softer.
You never want to use anything that has a shelf life to condition your board. It will eventually smell and be rancid. It is a common belief that coconut oil is safe to use as a board conditioner but it does have a shelf life so I wouldn't recommend it. Beeswax and Food Safe Mineral Oil are both stable substances that will last indefinitely and offer beauty and safety to your cutting board or charcuterie board. They both can work as board conditioners separately but Beeswax would be pretty hard to manipulate without the liquid emulsifier of mineral oil. Mineral oil would be easier but it would be messier than the combination of the two. It is important to make sure it is food safe.
We use a two stage sealing process that makes certain your board is good to go right out of the box and we include a container of BeeNew™ to make sure you have what you need to keep it looking its best.
