Why? Olive Oil has a tendency to go rancid after a few months, which imparts a weird flavor to the food one is cutting. You could use walnut oil too, but that is really expensive. <br /><br />My recipe is a 3:2 mixture - of mineral oil (food grade) to bees wax (food grade). I also use this as wood finisher for other wood around me, such as wooden photo frames, wooden bowls, oak furniture, etc. <br /><br />You can use it straight out of the jar (I use 1 pint mason jars) without heating it, or heat it and use it more as an oil. <br /><br />The way I mix it up is melt the bees wax in the microwave. Safer and easier in the mason jar (without lid of course). I melt in 30 sec intervals, stir and re-heat. I add the oil after the wax is melted. <br /><br />Pretty much we are on the same wavelength!
