Product code
The “Milan” cheese knife is an essential tool for cutting hard and semi-hard cheeses with precision and ease. Characterized by a long and thin blade, slightly curved and sharp, it allows you to obtain uniform slices without crumbling the cheese. The ergonomic handle guarantees a safe and comfortable grip, allowing optimal control during cutting. To use the Milano knife at its best, it is advisable to hold the handle firmly and make decisive but controlled movements, using the entire length of the blade to obtain clean and precise slices. This knife is ideal for enthusiasts and professionals who want to maximize the cheese tasting experience by presenting flawless slices on cutting boards and plates.
The “Milano” model with 14 cm blade is mainly used to cut cheeses such as Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano, in this case, this specific knife must be used to make rough cuts. To explain better, we can cut the shape in half, then the fourth and finally the eighth, however it is not suitable for smaller cuts. It allows you to perform the so-called “rock” cut but also called shelling, given that both edges of the blade are sharp.
Obviously it can also be used with all other cheeses with a particularly hard rind.
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.
