For a 30mm thick cutting board these would need to stand on their edge which would place the grain horizontally and its generally recommended for cutting boards that the end grain be vertical or at least 45 degrees on the diagonal. I'm not sure what difference it makes - just going on what I've read and seen on youtube.

You'd see the advice to have the end grain be vertical as that means the boards used would be quartersawn. Without any joinery to constrain it, a plain or rift sawn board is likely to cup. Having breadboard ends on a board or panel is one method to limit the cupping. Using quartersawn timber is another - quartersawn will still move but due to the direction of movement, it won't/shouldn't cup much if at all.
