An ancient tradition, a sacred art in ancient Rome, an essential profession for the production and consumption of meat today. Butchery is an activity that over the years, thanks to the development of new slaughtering and meat preservation techniques, has become a professional art, made of targeted actions and specific tools.
Among the accessories that should never be missing in a professional butcher shop, cutting boards and meat blocks are certainly at the top of the priority list. But why is a wooden block so indispensable in a butcher shop?
Wooden blocks in butcher shops: practical, safe, durable.
In every self-respecting butcher shop, a wooden block is a concrete necessity because, thanks to its qualities, it contributes to making the processing of meat more than a noble art, offering itself as a humble but precious support in the skilled hands of master butchers.
Wooden blocks are the heart of a butcher shop, the work surface where the magic of meat processing takes place, because they are practical, safe, and durable. They can have different models, sizes, and thicknesses, but what unites them is undoubtedly the quality of the wood (usually from Robinia), properly dried and seasoned, which gives it absolute resistance to the blows of cleavers, and durability over time.
Moreover, thanks to a wooden block, it is possible to work the meat safely, preventing the knife from damaging the work surface.
From wood to wood: the blocks
Wooden blocks are distinguished by models, sizes, and type of wood, in relation to different needs. Acacia wood blocks are among the most robust and resistant to wear and scratches. Acacia wood is very compact, elastic, and versatile during processing. Furthermore, not a minor detail, the treatment usually applied to a wooden block is based on non-toxic paint, thus leaning towards greater sanitization and a lesser absorption of organic residues.
And finally, to ensure a longer average life for the wooden cutting block, there are block covers, essential accessories for complying with HACCP hygiene regulations, and to avoid the accumulation on the surface of dust residues or other small particles.
