Beautiful granite and that edge is really lovely too. BEAUTIFUL!!

There is an argument that granite will "hold" bacteria. I could never see how it would be much different than formica. I use a dishwasher safe cutting board for everything.

When I roll out yeast dough on the surface I wash it with soapy water and dry in carefully and the dough reaches temperatures that will kill any stray bacteria. I have done that on any surface I have rolled out dough on for as long as I can remember.

I think of that bacteria thing as a non issue.
