A stainless steel knife for breaking and carving Parmesan and other hard Italian cheeses. The pointed, asymmetric blade is designed to be pressed into the cheese and twisted rather than sliced, producing the irregular pieces that hard cheese is traditionally served in. Made in Italy by Eppicotispai, with a turned beechwood handle. Available in two sizes.
Available in two sizes: a 120mm x 25mm version for everyday use and a larger 160mm x 38mm version for bigger blocks. Both share the same pointed stainless steel blade and turned beechwood handle.
Hard Italian cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, and aged Pecorino are not meant to be sliced. The correct technique is to insert the knife point into the cheese and apply pressure to break off irregular pieces, which preserves the texture and crystalline structure of the cheese. This knife is shaped specifically for that purpose. For serving the broken pieces at the table, the cheese fork is the natural companion tool. For softer cheeses, the Cheddar spatula or Stilton spatula are more suitable.
The small (120mm) version suits most domestic use, including standard wedges and smaller blocks of Parmigiano or Grana Padano. The large (160mm) version is better suited to larger blocks, or if you regularly buy whole or half wheels of hard cheese.
The Parmesan knife follows the traditional Italian design for hard cheese service, with a blade shape that enables the correct breaking technique rather than slicing. The beechwood handle and stainless steel construction match the other tools in the range.
