Epicurean cutting boards are premium-grade cutting surfaces for the home. They're made from Richlite, an environmentally-friendly, natural-wood-fiber, composite laminate. For more than 40 years, Richlite has been a surface preferred by chefs in restaurants and commercial kitchens worldwide. Now this superior material is available for home kitchens. Epicurean cutting boards are maintenance-free and extremely durable, yet will not dull your fine knives. The Richlite material is non-porous and bacteria resistant, National Sanitary Foundation approved for commercial use and dishwasher safe. It's even temperature-resistant up to 350 degrees F. Epicurean cutting boards are truly a cut above the rest.
