{"product_id":"berkel-cheeseboard-set","title":"Berkel Acacia Cheeseboard Set with Cheese Knives","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Berkel Cheeseboard Set pairs a solid acacia wood board with three Classic Line cheese knives, each shaped for a different type of cheese. Hard, semi-hard and soft cheeses all behave differently under a blade, and having the right knife for each makes a noticeable difference at the table. Most sets compromise on either the board or the knives. This one doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSolid Acacia Wood Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcacia is naturally moisture-resistant, antibacterial and harder-wearing than many woods used for serving boards, without any surface treatment needed. At 33.5 × 25 cm (including the handle), it gives you a proper surface to work with rather than something you're crowding food onto. The round board itself is 25 cm across. Berkel's logo is silk screen printed onto the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid acacia hardwood, not a veneer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally moisture-resistant and antibacterial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft grain protects knife edges during use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural variation in grain pattern on each board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Classic Line Cheese Knives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hard cheese knife has a short, thick, pointed \u003cstrong\u003e8 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e blade for breaking into aged cheeses without shattering them. The semi-hard knife has an \u003cstrong\u003e11.5 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e blade with a forked tip for clean cuts through Comté, Gouda, mild Cheddar and similar, with the pronged end doubling as a serving pick. The soft cheese spreader has a spatula-shaped \u003cstrong\u003e8 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e blade for lifting and spreading creamy or fresh cheeses without tearing them. All three are from Berkel's Classic Line, made from X50 Cr Mo V15 stainless steel with a polished red ABS handle and three rivets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard cheese knife: 8 cm blade, 18.5 cm total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-hard cheese knife: 11.5 cm blade, 22 cm total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft cheese spreader: 8 cm blade, 18.5 cm total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX50 Cr Mo V15 stainless steel throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished red ABS handle with three rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knives are dishwasher-safe, though hand-washing and immediate drying will keep the edge and finish in better condition for longer.
