Tools For Cheese
FAQ List
The type of cheese knives you need will depend on the types of cheese you enjoy. For soft cheeses like brie or camembert, a cheese knife with a narrow blade and sharp point is best. For hard cheeses like cheddar or parmesan, a sturdy knife with a sharp, straight blade is ideal. A cheese plane can be a handy tool for slicing thin, even pieces of cheese.
While you can use a regular cutting board for cheese, it's not ideal. Cheese can leave behind oils and residue that can be difficult to clean off of a wooden or plastic cutting board. A dedicated cheese board with a non-porous surface is a better option, as it will be easier to clean and won't absorb any odors or flavors from the cheese.
To keep your cheese tools in top condition, it's important to clean them thoroughly after each use. Hand wash them with warm, soapy water and dry them off immediately to prevent any rust or corrosion. Avoid putting them in the dishwasher, as the high heat and water pressure can damage the blades. Store them in a dry, cool place to prevent any moisture buildup.
When shopping for a cheese board, look for one with a non-porous surface that won't absorb any odors or flavors from the cheese. It should also be large enough to hold a variety of cheeses, as well as any accompaniments like crackers or fruit. Some cheese boards also come with built-in compartments for different types of cheese, which can be a handy feature.
Yes, cheese tools can make a great gift for the foodies in your life. They're practical, thoughtful, and can be used for years to come. A set of cheese knives or a stylish cheese board can be a particularly good choice for a wedding or housewarming gift. And if you're not sure what to get, a gift card to a kitchen store like Sur La Table can allow the recipient to choose their own cheese tools.
