At Honu Living, our pieces are designed to be both beautiful and practical. Each item is carefully crafted to enhance your home and entertaining experience. We also want to ensure customers understand the best way to use and care for their resin and timber pieces.

Important Food Use Information

The resin used in Honu Living products is suitable for incidental contact with food, meaning it is safe for brief contact when serving items such as dry snacks. For food preparation, cutting, or prolonged contact with food, we recommend using the timber areas of the board.

Following these guidelines helps protect the finish of your piece while keeping it looking its best.

Serving Boards

Designed for Entertaining

Our boards are created to be both eye-catching and functional. The resin detailing makes a stunning feature for presenting food, while the timber surface is the most suitable area for preparing or cutting ingredients.

Food Use Guidance

Resin Surfaces
The resin section is perfect for displaying cheeses, crackers, fruits, and other grazing items. However, it should not be used for cutting or heavy food preparation.

Use Timber for Preparation
For slicing or chopping, always use the timber side of your board. This protects the resin and helps extend the life of your board.

Styling Your Grazing Boards

Beautiful Presentation
The resin detail creates a striking backdrop for entertaining, making your grazing spreads look even more special.

Protecting the Resin Finish
When serving cheeses or other items, placing crumpled baking paper beneath the food is a simple way to protect the surface while also creating a relaxed, layered grazing-board style.

Food Safety FAQs

Can I cut directly on the resin section?
We recommend cutting only on the timber part of the board to avoid scratching or damaging the resin.

Is the resin safe to serve food on?
Yes, the resin is suitable for incidental food contact, meaning it can be used for serving snacks or grazing items.

Can hot food be placed on the resin?
It’s best not to place hot dishes directly onto the resin surface. Using baking paper, a plate, or a small barrier will help protect it.

What about citrus or acidic foods?
Occasional contact is fine, but it’s best to wipe the resin clean afterwards to help maintain the finish.
