John Boos Block Cutting Board Care and Maintenance Set: Includes One 16 Ounce Bottle Mystery Oil, One 5 Ounce bottle Board Cream and One Round Applicator

Easy to use and good results

I received my bottle of Mystery Oil, and the packaging from Amazon was great, but the bottle of oil itself looks very poorly done. For such an upscale company, I am concerned if my bottle is fake. Did someone put a Boos label on another bottle? I have applied it to my board, but curious as to why my bottle looks so rough. It looks as though the label was taped on, it’s very wrinkly with lots of air bubbles under the tape. Is this Boos Block Quality? Should I continue using it? Or did I just get a defected label on my bottle? Sooo many questions.

I purchased this to get life back into my wood board which had become so dry it lost its shine. I had wooden spoons that were very dry and wood grain no longer visible. I used this as directed and everything looks brand new. Ive even washed it a couple times post treatment and it is keeping its shine.

Like many purchasers whove written saying theyve gotten counterfeit products, I received Boos Mystery Oil in a clear bottle with a paper label, not the traditional yellow Boos bottle. And there was a black line through words on the cream tube. I called Boos to see if this was their product. The helpful customer service rep assured me that the oil and cream were legitimate Boos products. She explained that during COVID Boos has had trouble getting their traditional bottles. I used the products, and they are great - as advertised.

This three piece application treatment of all wooden cutting boards & chopping blocks is miraculous in its ability to bring the damaged wood back to its original finish. The steps are simple to follow & bring fantastic end results.

Once a month, I oil and wax my John Boos Block, since its a really large cutting board, quite expensive, and its important to protect it and take care of it. The essential mystery oil goes on easily, penetrated the wood and wipes off nicely. Whatever oil theyre peddling seems to get the job done. The board cream (wax) was tough to work with. Its hard to squeeze out of the tube (and good luck getting it all out!), and goes on thick, with a lot of wasted product when you wipe it off and inevitably go through about a dozen paper towels before the surface isnt still noticeably waxy. I switched to Clarks cutting board wax with round applicator and I have a MUCH easier time applying a thin even coat with almost no wasted product. I highly recommend Clarks over John Boos for the board cream, but the John Boos cutting board oil is perfectly fine and inexpensive and should last quite some time.

I’m really impressed with this product. I’ve been using another brand but it took several coats and didn’t give me the “dry” finish I was looking for. Boos Block oil and cream were easy to apply and I love the finish! For my new boards all I had to do was apply one coat of oil, let it dry overnight and wipe off any excess then apply the cream and let it set overnight and the wipe off any excess. Perfect finish and not oily at all! After doing all of these boards, I was shocked at how little product I used. If you can’t see the bottles in my picture they are over 3/4 full!

To tell the truth this kit is invaluable to protect your wood blocks from moisture and water damage. Adding this oil really brings back the lift in your wood products.

Best by far in the market

I have a 10 kitchen island, it wouldnt let the picture post & I used the oil & wax, I purchased a cherry unfinished. I did not spend a fortune on it, but it came out gorgeous! I just ordered more oil & wax to keep it up. It really holds up beautifully & i even usd it on a family heirloom rocker that is over 100 years old & it looks beautiful too. It does everything it says it does.
