The Story Behind Every Cut

Tivano started in a small workshop in Northern Italy, where a third-generation woodworker grew frustrated watching home cooks struggle with warped, stained cutting boards that needed replacing every few years. The solution wasn’t complicated—it just required doing things the old way, the right way. We select each piece of hardwood by hand, let it cure naturally for months, and finish every board with a blend of mineral oil and beeswax that’s been in the family for decades.

Our boards aren’t revolutionary. They’re just built the way kitchen tools used to be built—to last through generations of Sunday dinners, holiday preparations, and everyday meals. We make them one at a time in our expanded workshop outside Milan, where the same careful attention goes into every grain pattern, every rounded edge, every smooth surface. Each board carries a small brass plate with its creation date, not because it’s trendy, but because we expect you’ll want to know its age when you pass it down someday.

The name Tivano comes from the old Lombard word for “craftsman’s table”—the sturdy workspace where everything important happened. That’s what we hope these boards become in your kitchen: the reliable surface where meals begin, where ingredients transform, where cooking becomes less of a chore and more of a ritual worth preserving.Retry

Why Chefs Choose Tivano

“Finally, a cutting board that doesn’t slide around while I’m chopping. The rubber feet on my Tivano maple board grip perfectly, and the juice groove actually contains everything when I’m carving.”

Marco D.

Customer

“Bought the large teak board for charcuterie nights. The natural grain patterns are gorgeous—guests always ask where it’s from. Worth every penny for something that doubles as servingware.”

Jennifer K.

Customer

“The weight tells you everything—this is serious craftsmanship. My acacia board has that satisfying thunk when you set it down. Oiled it once in eight months and it still has that rich, deep color.”

Common Questions

How should the board be cleaned after use?

Hand washing with warm water and mild dish soap works best. After washing, dry thoroughly with a clean towel and let it air dry completely before storing. Avoid soaking in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can cause warping or cracking over time.

What type of oil should be used for maintenance?

Food-grade mineral oil or specialized board conditioner helps maintain the wood’s condition. Apply a thin layer once a month or whenever the surface looks dry. Coconut oil and olive oil aren’t recommended as they can turn rancid.

How often does the board need oiling?

Monthly oiling is typically sufficient for regular home use. Boards used daily or those that appear dry and lighter in color may benefit from oiling every two weeks. A well-maintained board will have a subtle sheen and feel smooth to the touch.

What’s the best way to remove stains?

Sprinkle coarse salt over the surface and rub with half a lemon, then rinse with warm water. For stubborn odors, a paste made from baking soda and water can be applied, left for a few minutes, then rinsed off. This natural method is gentle on the wood while effectively removing unwanted smells.

Can raw meat be cut directly on the surface?

Yes, the surface is safe for all food preparation, including raw meat. Just be sure to wash it thoroughly with hot, soapy water immediately after use. Some people prefer to designate one side for meat and the other for vegetables to minimize cross-contamination.

Will knife marks damage the surface?

Light knife marks are normal and actually help create a natural patina that many cooks prefer. The surface is designed to be gentle on knife blades while remaining durable. Deep gouges can be sanded down with fine-grit sandpaper if needed, followed by re-oiling to restore the finish.Retry
