Been using this on both of my cutting boards for a few months now, works great would highly recommend. Make sure you clean them well after application as it can leave a bit of a odor if not cleaned properly.

An excellent quality upgrade to plain old mineral oil. Emmet's Elixir is a blend of mineral oil, beeswax and some citrusy essential oils for anti-bacterial protection. The beeswax gives the oil protection more durability than plain mineral oil. The essential oils are a nice bonus. First when applying the oil and its still drying, it gives the cutting board a delicious smell. This dissipates as it dries but the citrus oils are doing their job now countering bacteria. It applies with little effort and absorbs into the wood well and the next day you have nice water beading action when you wash your board.

I am not a chef; I am a mom of 8! I did not even know that you should condition cutting boards! Oops! I bought several butcher blocks from Webstaurant and kept seeing this elixir and a video on each page. Finally watched the video and figured we should condition the boards we just bought! Thanks for the education. Love the smell of essential oils and love the antimicrobial effect from the essential oils. Just started with an old board we have had for years... hoping to make it last for many more. I will post a before and after picture. The elixir gave the old board a shine and luster I don't remember it ever having before. Of course only time will tell if it extends the boards life!

I bought a new cutting board, and I used this product on it. Conditioned it nicely. This bottle will last me awhile, but if I do run out, I will buy some more.

Good product and works great on wooden pizza peels and cutting boards. Doesn't leave any film or any off smells, and soaks fairly well. Price is alright.

This is a great wood conditioner and keeps my boards fresh. The only downside, if you can call it that, is that it must dry for a few hours until it can be used again. Now we just rotate when we condition to compensate.

This product is exactly what I needed to help maintain my new wood cutting board. It applies with little effort and leaves no oily residue after it has been dried and buffed. Smells good and there is enough in one bottle for more than one application.

First, this wood conditioner smells great! It absorbs well and doesn't leave behind an oily residue. After allowing the product to dry and buffing, the cutting board has a nice dark sheen. Great product to protect and extend the lifetime of our cutting boards.

This wood elixir smells amazing, and I would use it for that reason alone. It smells citrusy with a hint of beeswax, but not overwhelmingly so, just fresh and clean and uplifting. It does a good job of conditioning the wood, when it dries it ever so slightly darkens the wood so it still looks damp, but in a healthy, moisturized way.

Emmets elixir has a very pleasant scent. I have used it about 3 times on my butcher block. It does not leave a oily residue and seems to have been thoroughly absorbed into the board.

This is a really good wood conditioner when used properly and consistently. Our wood cutting board received a couple treatments from this and it turned out well. Over time we missed a few times conditioning the board properly so any faults with the board ultimately will happen from the user and not necessarily the use of this product. If you are disciplined enough to use it consistently, you won't be disappointed.

Honestly wasn't looking forward to having to treat the cutting board. In the past it was an oily, messy job. Boy, I was pleasantly surprised on how easy and mess free this conditioner was. Went on easily with pleasant smell and slightly darkened the board..barely noticeable. Have not treated it a second time yet, but not dreading it at all.

I really love this Elixir, not sure why I haven't used it in the past. It wipes on so nicely, no residue left (follow the directions!), which is a big deal for me. I will surely be purchasing this brand as my "go to" wood conditioner.

I purchased the wood conditioner along with the small bread cutting boards (#4595122B). It smells a lot like lemon and is easy to apply with a paper towel or cloth. Although I used it on the small cutting boards, I also used it on some bamboo cutting boards that I already owned. You can really see the difference!
