Teak is one of the most popular woods in the world because of its versatility, function and beauty. Teak is weather resistant, and while commonly used in outdoor furniture and boats, it is also perfect for use in the kitchen, as it holds up so well to water and food, and is very hard. These cutting boards are made from plantation teak, from one of the largest teak plantations in the world, located in South America. Plantation teak refers to the sustainability of the raw material, which is farmed using responsible forestry practices. Not only is the wood sustainable, but these boards are made from the remnants from other teak products, remnants that are typically discarded in the manufacturing process.
