Your cus- tomers need help to preserve and protect these spe- cial wooden sur- faces. Vegetable oil is for cooking, not treating food cutting surfaces – it can lead to a rancid smell after time. Howard Butcher Block Conditioner is a blend of natural waxes and food- grade mineral oil. The penetrating quality of the oil, along with the water-resistant traits of beeswax and carnauba wax, rejuvenates the wood and prevents drying and cracking. The waxes help repair knife marks and protect the wood by keeping the mineral oil in and the moisture out. Howard Butcher Block Condi- tioner offers a high quality option in a clean, upscale package – the perfect fit for any retailer selling kitchenware items. It is ideal for everyone from the gourmet chef who owns expensive butcher blocks to health-conscious parents with bam- boo cutting boards. Howard CDBB comes packed with eight each (12-ounce) bottles of Butcher Block Conditioner and Cutting Board Oil in a free eye-catching point-of- purchase counter display. Sug- gested retail price for the bottles is $9.69 to $10.89 each.
