Cheese knife

The cheese knife includes blades designed for each texture, from soft cheeses that stick to hard cheeses that require force. In our Cheese knife range, restaurant professionals, cheesemongers and home users find both individual knives and service sets for a well-presented board.

Choosing your cheese knife

Which knife for which texture?

Soft cheeses (brie, camembert) call for a hollow-edged blade that limits sticking; pressed cheeses a straight, sharp blade; hard cheeses (parmesan, aged comté) a sturdy knife or a point to split them. A varied board often justifies several blades.

Single knife or service set?

For occasional use at the table, a dedicated knife is enough. For regular service or board presentation, a set covering several textures offers more flexibility.

How to care for the blade?

Clean and dry the blade after each use, as the fat and acidity of some cheeses can mark the steel. Check the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the dishwasher.
