Soapstone has some real benefits as a countertop surface. One of the first natural stones to be used used as a countertop surface because it never needs to be chemically sealed and is naturally stain resistant. There are old farmhouses back east with soapstone countertops that are still in use, they simply can be sanded down and continue to be used for a lifetime!

Because soapstone doesn't harbor bacteria or mold, it is the perfect surface for food preparation, especially rolling out pastry or pie dough! You can also place a hot pot on soapstone because it is able to tolerate high degrees of heat without staining or damaging the stone, however, we never recommend cutting on any natural stone, since this will dull knives and scratch your stone.
