Kalevala Day, or the day of Finnish culture, is celebrated on the 28th of February. As food plays a big role in shaping the country’s culture, for us foodists, it is also a day to celebrate food culture. Finnish and other Nordic countries’ food culture includes plenty of signature dishes, signature habits, and signature kitchen tools. One of these aforementioned signature kitchen tools is the CHEESE SLICER.
What makes the HEIROL cheese slicer the best in the world?
HEIROL cheese slicers blades are equipped with a sawtooth-edge – meaning, that as you are slicing your cheese, a little bit of air gets between the blade and the cheese. Giving you a beautiful slice of cheese on each pull, without the cheese getting all wrinkly. Not too thin and not too thick, perfection. The cheese slicers are made of high-quality stainless steel, which gives some bend but doesn’t break. The cheese slicers are a part of our well-known HEIROL Steely utensil-series. All the Steely-products are extremely durable and hygienic. Steely products have a closed handle, which ensures that no dirt or water can get inside the handle.
Even though they are called cheese slicers, a proper cheese slicer is a multipurpose tool. Hence, almost every single Finnish household has one. For example, you can use it as a peeler or slicer for your vegetables, like carrots, cucumber, and ginger. Can you relate to a (extremely Finnish) situation, where you just put your butter knife in the washer and are in desperate need of butter on your rye bread? No worries, just take your butter out of the fridge and use your HEIROL cheese slicer to slice up a perfect slice of fresh butter. ”Nami nami”, a Finn would say (translation: Yummers).
