A single-blade mezzaluna for chopping herbs, garlic, onions, chillies, nuts and chocolate. The 250mm curved stainless steel blade covers more ground per stroke than the smaller version, making it better suited to larger prep quantities and bigger chopping boards. Made in Italy by Eppicotispai, with beechwood handles.
Design and Construction
The blade is 250mm wide, curved to allow a natural rocking motion from the wrist. Both handles are turned beechwood, giving a secure grip on either side of the blade. The stainless steel blade is food-grade and holds its 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 rocking motion gives more control than a standard knife for tasks like mincing garlic to a paste, finely chopping fresh herbs, or breaking down nuts and chocolate. The 250mm blade suits larger quantities and bigger boards, covering significantly more surface per stroke than the 145mm version. For smaller everyday tasks, the 145mm small mezzaluna is more manageable. For finer results in less time, the double blade version cuts twice per pass.

FAQs
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.
What is the difference between the small and large mezzaluna?
The large has a 250mm blade, covering more ground per stroke and better suited to larger quantities or bigger boards. The small has a 145mm blade, suited to everyday prep quantities and standard chopping boards.
What is the difference between the single and double blade?
The single blade makes one cut per stroke. The double blade makes two cuts per stroke, producing finer results more quickly. The double blade is the better choice if you regularly mince large quantities of herbs or garlic.
Do I need to verify my age to buy this?
Yes. Under UK law, bladed items are age-restricted, so you'll need to confirm you're 18 or over at checkout. We use OneID®, a UK-certified service that verifies your age instantly using information your bank already holds. There's no document upload and no sensitive data is shared with us. Delivery requires age confirmation on arrival.
Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Hand wash only. Do not soak or put in the dishwasher. Dry immediately after washing to protect the beechwood handles.
