Try bleach. Or if the block is small enough, try soaking in dish soap with a bit of bleach overnight.
You might not be able to get it out because whatever it is may have seeped into the wood. If all fails, ask your local hardware store for advice.

I would avoid strong detergents, since small residues may get stuck in the grain and not get thoroughly rinsed. Use a light soap and water and scrub well, rinse really thoroughly, then treat with a FOOD GRADE mineral oil, rubbing a light coat into the grain. Do not use cooking oil, because it eventually goes rancid and you don't want that in your food. Mineral oil will stay clear, so it won't stain the wood, and it won't go rancid -- just don't use too much, or your table will actually feel oily (and if too much of it gets into your food, it can give you diarrhea)
