Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need food-safe oil for wood?

Food-safe oils keep your boards nourished, help prevent cracking and create a barrier against bacteria and moisture. Most importantly, they ensure the surface you’re preparing food on stays safe.

How often should I use a food safe oil?

We recommend oiling once every few months. Generally, though, you can let your board guide you, when it looks dry or worn, it’s time to reach for your food safe wood oil. A little goes a long way, so the bottle should last a good while for you.

How do I apply food safe wood oil?

Clean your board with warm, soapy water, and make sure it is fully dry before applying a food grade wood oil with a lint free cloth. A little goes a long way here, but if you are looking for a deeper feed, you can add a little more and let it sink in overnight. If there is any excess product evident in the morning, simply wipe this away with a clean cloth. Never leave the excess oil on, as it can otherwise become sticky.

Do Your Food Safe Oils Come in Various Scents?

Yes, we use natural scents for our lemon, orange, and citrus beeswax options which are available in our range of food safe oils.

Is food safe oil better than mineral oil?

Yes. Mineral oil offers lighter protection, but Gilly’s food safe oils are more nourishing and an eco-friendly option. Additionally, not all mineral oils are guaranteed food safe.

Can I use the same oil for bamboo boards?

Definitely. Our food grade oils work on both timber and bamboo chopping boards, though bamboo often requires less upkeep.

How long do Gilly’s oils last?

As all of our products contain natural ingredients, we recommend that you use them within the 24-month expiration period after opening. Of course, there are always ways you can maintain the quality of your oils, such as keeping them away from heat and direct sunlight.
