35 x 23 cm Glued Laminated Beech Cheese Board – Serving and Storage
This glued laminated beech board measures 35 x 23 cm and has two uses: as a serving board for cheese at the table and as a storage shelf in WoodUp food cupboards. Made from glued laminated beech, it has greater dimensional stability than solid beech and a perfectly flat surface. Its ergonomic handle makes it easy to carry.
Beech has a neutral taste and no distinctive smell, and is commonly used for kitchen utensils and food-contact items. It can be lightly treated with food-safe oil to improve surface protection and make cleaning easier.

Usage tips
For serving at the table, arrange the cheeses from mildest to strongest in tasting order — from fresh cheeses at the top left to blue cheeses at the bottom right. Add some dried fruit, nuts or grapes to complete the board.
To use it in a food cupboard, slide the board onto a shelf in the medium or large model. It keeps the cheeses separate from the cupboard’s unfinished wood and makes cleaning easier — simply remove the board and wipe it down.
Care
Wipe with a damp cloth after each use. For stains from fatty cheeses or rinds, rub with half a lemon, then rinse lightly and dry immediately. Do not immerse in water or put in the dishwasher. Apply a light coat of food-safe oil (linseed or sunflower) once or twice a year to keep the beech conditioned.
WoodUp tip
For regular care of your cheese board, prepare a simple mixture: 1 part food-safe coconut or linseed oil and 1 part melted beeswax. Apply it warm to the wood, leave it to soak in for 10 minutes, then wipe away any excess. This natural treatment lasts several months and gives the beech a pleasing, slightly satin finish.
Good to know before buying: glued laminated beech may darken slightly over time when in contact with fatty cheeses. This is normal and does not affect hygiene. Regular oiling helps limit the darkening.
Frequently asked questions
Is this board compatible with all WoodUp food cupboards?
The 35 x 23 cm board is sized to fit the medium (H35cm, W40xD30cm) and large (H50cm, W40xD30cm) plywood food cupboards. For the small H21cm model or the solid beech food cupboard, check the internal dimensions before ordering.
Can I cut directly on this board?
Glued laminated beech is hard enough for occasional cutting, such as portioning cheese or bread. For frequent use as a chopping board, choose a thick board with a juice groove to preserve the cheese board’s surface.
Can this board be used with very runny cheeses?
For very runny cheeses (Vacherin, very ripe Brie or an opened Camembert), it is better to keep the cheese in its original box on the board. Cheese that runs directly onto the wood can become lodged in the pores of the beech and make cleaning difficult.
Which oil should I use to care for this board?
Any food-safe oil is suitable: linseed, sunflower, coconut or virgin olive oil. Avoid industrial finishing oils and coatings (tung oil, Danish oil and lacquer), which are not suitable for food contact. Food-safe linseed oil is the most commonly recommended choice for wooden utensils.
Can this board go in the dishwasher?
No. The dishwasher’s heat and intense moisture can warp and crack wood. Always clean by hand with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
