Traditional Italian Mezzaluna Chopper – 145mm Stainless Steel Double Blade

A double-blade mezzaluna for chopping herbs, garlic, onions, chillies, nuts and chocolate. The two 145mm curved stainless steel blades cut twice per stroke, producing finer results more quickly than a single blade version. Made in Italy by Eppicotispai, with beechwood handles.

Design and Construction

The two blades sit parallel, each 145mm wide, curved to allow a natural rocking motion from the wrist. Both handles are turned beechwood, giving a secure grip on either side. The stainless steel blades are food-grade and hold their edge well with normal use and proper care.

What It's For

The mezzaluna, meaning "half moon" in Italian, is the traditional tool for fine chopping in Italian kitchens. The double blade produces two cuts per stroke rather than one, which means finer results in less time. It is particularly useful when mincing large quantities of fresh herbs, garlic or chillies to a fine consistency. For smaller everyday tasks where a single cut per stroke is sufficient, the 145mm single blade is simpler to clean and maintain. For larger boards and bigger quantities, the 250mm single blade covers more ground per stroke.

Care

Hand wash only. Do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Rinse quickly, dry immediately, and store in a dry place. Take care when washing around the double blade. Prolonged exposure to moisture will damage the beechwood handles over time.

What is the difference between the single and double blade?

The double blade makes two cuts per stroke rather than one, producing finer results more quickly. It is the better choice if you regularly mince large quantities of herbs or garlic to a fine consistency. The single blade versions, available in 145mm and 250mm, are simpler to clean and maintain.

What is a mezzaluna used for?

A mezzaluna is used for chopping and mincing ingredients using a rocking motion. It is particularly useful for herbs, garlic, onions, chillies, nuts and chocolate, where a rocking cut gives more control and consistency than a standard knife. It can also be used to slice pizza and flatbreads.
