Wood Vs. Plastic Cheese Boards

August 7, 2009 By Rhino Wino

There is no doubt that wooden cheese boards are simply far more elegant than plastic serving and cutting boards, but many sometimes question the safety of serving and preparing food on wood. For some time wood was given the reputation as a material that would harbor bacteria easily making them unsafe for food. Some states even went so far as to ban their use in commercial kitchens.
But a recent research study at the University of California proved that wooden cheese boards and cutting boards are actually very safe for food preparation and serving. Properties within the wood were proven to have anti-microbial characteristics making them not a suitable environment for bacteria to live on.

For the wine and cheese connoisseur who loves to host parties this is excellent news. Those elegant wooden cheese boards are safe to use after all. Plus with the higher quality boards that are meant for not only serving but also preparing the cheese as well it is perfectly safe to do so without any fear of bacteria making any of your guests sick. After all even at an informal gathering wood cheese boards look much nicer than plastic for serving those finger foods and fine cheeses.
