The eco-friendly, natural wood fiber in Epicurean cutting boards has more than 60 years of history in an array of practical applications. Originally used in aerospace when introduced in the 1950's, in the 1960's it was developed for cutting and food prep surfaces in commercial kitchens all over the US.
Remarkable material is non-porous and won’t dull knives. Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the National Sanitary Foundation, it’s easy to clean and will not harbor bacteria. Boards develop a richer color with use. Heat resistant to 350°F, you can use the surface as a trivet without leaving a blemish. Unlike wood and bamboo, these can be cleaned in the dishwasher. All Epicurean products are responsibly made in Duluth, Minnesota, USA.
Made in the USA.
Why Do We Love Epicurean?
Epicurean products are synonymous with proficient and improved food preparation. From dishwasher safe cutting boards to an array of innovative utensils, Epicurean has revolutionized wood kitchenware products.
Made of many layers of FSC certified paper pressed together with a food safe resin, all Epicurean products will last for years of daily kitchen use. All products are designed with a focus on function but also with a concern for environmental stewardship. From the heavy duty Big Block boards to the agile Kitchen Series utensils, Epicurean sets a higher standard for every well equipped kitchen. All Epicurean products are made in the USA.
From Skateparks to Cutting Boards
What do skateboarders and foodies have in common? They're both cutting it up on the same durable material. In 2003, Epicurean was founded by custom skatepark manufacturer TrueRide as a way to repurpose excess skating surface material used by the company.
The founders of TrueRide knew of the history of the surface material in commercial kitchens, so creating a line of home food prep surfaces was as natural as, well, skating on it. TrueRide skate parks last for years outdoors with extensive abuse from both weather and skaters, so you can be sure your Epicurean cutting surface can handle even the hardest working kitchen. Epicurean products are no longer made from scrap skate park material, but there is very little waste generated and all off-cuts are used to make electricity in a local biomass power plant.
