Zyliss Cheese Grater

NSF certification means this product has been tested and verified by an independent organization to meet strict public health and safety standards. It indicates the materials are food-safe and the design is easy to clean, which is a standard often required in professional kitchens.

Yes, the design is engineered to handle a variety of textures. While hard cheeses like Parmesan will grate easily, it is also effective for semi-soft cheeses, though you may want to chill softer cheeses briefly before grating to get the cleanest shreds.

While the grater is durable and built for efficiency, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to maintain the sharpness of the blades over time. Dishwashers can dull the cutting edges faster than manual cleaning.

This specific professional model is designed as a standalone handheld grater, so it does not include an integrated catch container. It is intended to be used directly over your mixing bowl, plate, or pot for maximum convenience.

This grater is designed for precision and ease of use, focusing on a specific, high-quality grating surface rather than the multiple sides of a box grater. It is generally more ergonomic and easier to store, making it a better choice if you primarily grate cheese for finishing dishes.
