Forge de Laguiole Barthélemy Cheese Set

A mouchette is a specialized tool designed specifically for shaving thin, uniform slices of semi-hard and hard cheeses. Unlike a standard knife, which can crush or crumble delicate textures, the mouchette uses a precise blade angle to glide through the cheese, ensuring clean, professional-looking shavings.

No, these tools are not dishwasher safe. The olive wood handles are a natural material that can warp, crack, or lose its luster when exposed to the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately.

To keep the olive wood in top condition, occasionally rub the handles with a small amount of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax. This prevents the wood from drying out and helps maintain its natural grain and rich color.

Yes, the set is engineered to handle a wide range of textures. The balanced weight and blade design allow you to cleanly cut through soft, creamy cheeses like Camembert without sticking, while also providing the stability needed to slice through firmer, crumbly varieties.
