Medium Walnut Wood Cutting Board - 17 x 11 in, Juice Groove

Virginia Boys Kitchens describes itself as a family-run kitchenware business with roots in Virginia. Its stated priorities include American manufacturing, useful wood products and reforestation, with a tree-planting pledge attached to purchases. A first-person interview about the business identifies Brian Lejeune and Janine Do as later buyers, rather than establishing the original founders. The original founders’ names, exact founding year and current operating city and state have not been confirmed from the reviewed primary sources. Those required company-history details remain pending verification before publication.

Medium Walnut Wood Cutting Board - 17 x 11 in, Juice Groove

Set up everyday chopping and slicing on a medium walnut cutting board measuring 17 x 11 inches. Its three-quarter-inch thickness and rectangular outline make it a practical middle size between a compact bar board and a large carving board. The grooved face helps gather liquids while the flat reverse offers another working surface.

This size works well when you want room for a few ingredients without dedicating a large part of the counter to one board. It can also present a small cheese and cracker arrangement after it has been thoroughly cleaned. Plan separate clean surfaces for ready-to-eat foods and raw ingredients.

Features

• Rectangular cutting and serving format
• Juice-catching perimeter groove on one side
• Flat reverse for an alternate working surface
• Pre-seasoned with the maker’s wood-seasoning oil
• Made in the United States

For a simple serving arrangement, group sliced items rather than covering the whole board at once. Refill small portions as needed and use appropriate dishes for dips or wet accompaniments. Keep serving utensils nearby so guests can take food comfortably. When switching from preparation to serving, wash and dry the board first, even if you are using the opposite face.

Compare related cutting boards and butcher blocks to choose a shape, size and storage arrangement that fits your daily routine.

Materials and finish

American walnut wood with natural variation in grain and color. The maker describes these cutting boards as pre-seasoned with its wood-seasoning oil; its materials page identifies fractionated coconut oil as the wood-seasoning base. No certification or complete formula is inferred from a promotional label.

Care and use

After food preparation, wash the working surface with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Keep a clean board for ready-to-eat foods separate from the surface used for raw meat, poultry or seafood. Follow the maker’s wood-care directions and let both faces dry before storage; prolonged soaking or trapped moisture can damage a wood board. Periodically inspect the surface for deep grooves or damage that make cleaning difficult.

General handling guidance is available in the FoodSafety.gov guidance on cleaning and preventing cross-contamination. A juice groove manages liquid during preparation; it does not replace washing or careful separation of raw and ready-to-eat foods. Choose a maintenance product intended for food-contact wood and follow its label directions.
