FIRENZE knife

Knife called “Florence” as it was widely used in the past in Tuscany for cutting not very large mature pecorino cheeses.
Since the classic shape of pecorino is bowl-shaped and not large, with this knife it is possible to exert vertical and then horizontal pressure to slice both semi-mature and more mature pecorino cheeses well. Ideal for small-shaped cheeses with semi-hard and hard texture and medium consistency rind.

The “Firenze” is a specialized tool, designed for slicing and serving hard and semi-hard cheeses with precision and elegance. Featuring a sturdy, sharp blade, often with a slight curve, it allows you to apply the right amount of pressure without crushing the cheese. Its ergonomic handle guarantees a secure and comfortable grip, facilitating control during cutting. Thanks to its specific shape, the Firenze knife allows you to obtain uniform and clean slices, preserving the structure of the cheese. Ideal for both domestic and professional use, it is an indispensable tool for cheese lovers and for those who want to present a variety of cheeses in style during tastings and aperitifs.

To cut cheese, you must first know the cheese and therefore decide which tool is suitable for this purpose. The simplest and most effective example we can give is: but can’t you drink all of the wine with the usual glass? So why should all cheeses be cut with the same knife?

The art of “slicing” or cutting cheese is learned over the years and only if you have passion and attention to the world of cheeses. Obviously there are also courses we take to explain the technique and therefore the cutting practice, both for sale and for administration.

Calmness and patience are the other important requirements for cutting cheese well. If you are in a hurry it is better to go and do another job, but don’t start portioning a wheel of cheese.
