Boiled linseed oil is "New Old School" - an almost forgotten traditional coating that was once commonly used for wooden surfaces and building elements - both indoors and outdoors.
In 2015, we rediscovered the traditional recipe, carefully developed it further, and had it tested for contact with food.
Today, boiled linseed oil is one of the most original ways for many manufacturers and wood lovers to naturally protect wood: for cutting boards, end grain, kitchen wood, turned works as well as bowls, knife handles, toys, bird & bee houses, windows and doors.
Our boiled linseed oil is produced in a gentle cooking process exclusively from pure, cold-pressed linseed oil. For faster and more uniform drying, we only add a minimal amount of a modern drying agent to the recipe.
Further additives and solvents are taboo. Moreover: our boiled linseed oil is LFGB-tested and suitable for wooden surfaces with food contact.
After application, the boiled linseed oil forms a permanent bond with the wood and creates a water-repellent layer. The application remains deliberately simple: apply generously with a cotton cloth or brush, let it soak in briefly, and wipe off excess oil. After sufficient drying, the application can be repeated several times. Usually, two to three coats are sufficient.
The wood appears livelier, warmer, and richer in tone. Light woods develop a natural honey tone.
