It’s worth noting that mineral oil isn’t a drying oil, so the surface will remain a bit greasy and the oil will transfer to whatever you put on the worktop. It’s a form of paraffin, basically. Linseed oil is a drying oil, albeit a relatively slow drying one if you get the pure stuff. I wouldn’t use boiled linseed on a worktop, I would use raw. The linseed oil product Bobbo recommends looks good but I haven’t tried it. Osmo Polyx oil is a hardwax, and dries within a day or two to a fairly water resistant wax finish.
