Besides using mineral oil, what other oils are food compatable oils
that can be used on cutting boards.

Mineral oil just doesn't seem to have any staying power.


Nothing.

Walnut oil will cure, but it's really not super durable either. Will shed
water, though, along with bacteria and food drips.

I use walnut oil on mine. My customers like the look and it is food safe
immediately (it IS a food).

While I let my boards cure for a month or so, it's a 'security blanket' to
use a food oil.
