We've covered eco-friendly cutting boards in the past and are delighted to revisit the topic again with a look at Epicurean Cutting Boards.Most Epicurean Cutting Boards incorporate eco select paper that Epicurean says comes from trees harvested under the guidelines of the North America Sustainable Forestry Standards.
Epicurean also says that 60% of the energy used to produce the raw materials for its cutting boards comes from renewable energy.
But what really caught our eye was Epicurean's Recycled line of cutting boards made from recycled cardboard.
Like all Epicurean cutting boards, the Recycled series boards are Made in the USA (which generally lowers environmental transport costs), dishwasher safe, knife-friendly (won't dull knives) and heat resistant.
(Unfortunately, the Recycled boards don't have the snazzy "juice groove" from some of Epicurean's other boards...)
They do have a built-in handle that makes carrying and hanging the boards a breeze.
So how did they fare in action? The Epicurean boards took some tough cuts and came out of the dishwasher looking good.
We also have to tip our hats to the copywriter who described the color of the Recycled Epicurean boards as having a "warm, natural nutmeg appearance".
We probably would not have thought of the nutmeg comparison on our own, but once it was in our heads, we could look at the boards without thinking tasty, toasty nutmeg-scented thoughts.
Where to buy:
Buy your Recycled Epicurean cutting board online through the company's own website ($11.99 - $34.99, depending on the size of the board) or through other online retailers like Amazon.com.
Alternatively, find an offline retail location that carries the cutting boards using Epicurean's Store Locator.
