What is the best cutting and chopping surface for countertops?

Butcher block countertops made from hardwood such as maple, cherry or walnut are an ideal choice for cutting and chopping. Butcher block provides a solid and durable surface that is gentle on knives and will not easily dull them over time. The natural warmth and beauty of wood also add a timeless and elegant aesthetic to any kitchen. Other cutting-friendly countertop options include high-quality quartz, granite and recycled glass countertops, which offer superior strength and resistance to chipping or cracking.
