Butcher Block Co., a leading online store that sells butcher block products principally for kitchens, including countertops and kitchen island tops; stationary and rolling kitchen islands and carts; plus cutting boards and other kitchen accessories, recently expanded their product line to include environment-friendly butcher-block cleansing, moisturizing and conditioning products.
While the company has recorded strong sales of name-brand butcher-block oils and creams since its founding in 2008, Management has observed growing consumer interest in safer and more sustainable solutions for cleaning, preserving, and protecting butcher block kitchen surfaces. In response, BBCo. formulated non-petroleum-based products that are every bit as effective as market-leading products, such as Boos Block Mystery Oil and Boos Block Board Cream. All BBCO. formulas are mineral-oil-free, 100% plant-based, and vegan-friendly.
According to BBCo.’s President & CEO, Kathleen Grodsky, “Consumers today are increasingly concerned about the environmental effects of products they use every day, so they’re searching for eco-friendly alternatives. That’s why we decided to develop less harmful solutions for cleaning, oiling, and conditioning butcher block surfaces throughout the kitchen.”
The key product-type used to moisturize butcher block is butcher block oil. As Ms. Grodsky explains, “Most people do not realize that the mineral oil they commonly use to moisturize butcher-block cutting boards and countertops is actually a petrochemical derived from the processing of crude oil. Certainly, consumers understand that crude-oil extraction pollutes the environment and contributes to global warming, so once informed of the connection, people are quite interested in alternatives.”
BBCO. All-Natural Butcher Block Oil is 100% plant-based and mineral oil-free. Made from sustainable Palm Fruit Oil and Rice Bran Oil, it helps guard against moisture-loss by penetrating wood fibers.
BBCO. All-Natural Butcher Block Conditioner, also 100% plant-based and mineral oil-free, preserves and protects wood surfaces used for food preparation. It combines Palm Fruit Oil, Grape Seed Oil and Coconut Oil with Rice Bran Wax to provide a protective barrier. Another plus is that this proprietary formula contains no beeswax. The harvesting of honey from beehives can be detrimental to the overall health of bee populations, which are increasingly at risk.
Rounding out the company’s 3-item launch is a product that’s new to some U.S. consumers - BBCO. All-Natural Butcher Block Cleanser. Intended for the safe and natural cleaning of wood food-prep surfaces, it too is 100%-plant-based. Made from all-natural, mild surfactants obtained from renewable vegetables and from coconut and corn starch, this low-lather formula makes for quick, easy, and thorough rinsing, in contrast to light-duty dish detergents which generate ample suds requiring repeated rinsing.
All three products come in 12-ounce bottles and are sold in 3-packs. And the BBCO. Complete Care Kit includes a single bottle of each product. All packages are currently offered on the BBCo. website and will soon be available on Amazon.
