We eat it in every form: sliced, wedged, grated, chunked, melted, seared into a frico. And we eat it every day. A food this important to my family’s well-being deserves tools that can handle it with the respect and dignity it deserves. Even if you don’t eat cheese every day like we do, you owe it to yourself to get good, sharp tools that will effortlessly grate or slice your cheese, not your fingers. Good tools will keep your hands intact and make better-looking, more uniform slices and shreds as well. (Yes, you could use a [chef’s knife]( to cut pieces of firm cheese for snacking, but a dedicated [cheese plane]( will make elegant paper-thin slices that I swear make the cheese taste even better.)
