One piece of natural slate, cut to a heart and left riven rather than polished, which means split along the grain of the stone. That gives a slightly uneven matt face, and no two boards carry quite the same markings. It is thin, with enough weight in it to stay put under a knife.

Cheese, charcuterie, bread and canapes all serve off it. A blade leaves a pale streak where the metal has marked the stone, and that washes off. Chilling it in the fridge for an hour before serving works, since slate holds the cold.

FAQs

Can I cut directly on it?

Yes, that is what it is for. A blade will leave a pale streak on the surface where the metal has marked the stone. It washes off, and it is the usual price of using a slate board rather than a wooden one.

What does riven mean?

Split along the natural grain of the stone rather than sawn and polished. It leaves a slightly uneven, matt face with its own texture, which is why one board never quite matches another.

Can it go in the fridge?

It can, and a good number of people chill it for an hour before serving. Slate is dense and holds the cold for a while once it has taken it.

How do I clean it?

Warm water, a cloth and a little washing up liquid, then dry it. Keep it out of the dishwasher and away from anything abrasive.
