BEECH

Also known as: White Beech, Steamed Beech

Botanical Name: Fagus sylvatica

Origin: Europe and West Asia

In order to produce White Beech, the trees must be felled in the winter months when the sap is not rising. 

The logs are then sliced, uncooked, as quickly as possible to avoid any discolouration occurring. 

For steamed Beech, the logs are cooked and this changes the colour to a pinky brown.
