Know before you buy
The metal grating surface is dishwasher safe. However, the olivewood handle must be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.
To keep the olivewood looking its best, you should occasionally treat it with a food-safe wood oil. This helps preserve the wood's natural luster and prevents it from drying out over time.
Each piece is handcrafted in Umbria, Italy, using natural olivewood. Because of this artisanal process, you can expect unique variations in the wood grain, size, and shape, making every grater one-of-a-kind.
Yes, while designed with Parmesan in mind, the flat grater works well for other hard cheeses like Pecorino, Manchego, or even hard-cured chocolates and citrus zest.
The grater measures 12 inches in length, 0.75 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height, providing a comfortable grip and a standard surface area for efficient grating.
