This box grater is made for serving fresh hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Romano and Asiago. It has a sharp metal grate sized for hard cheese. The olivewood box catches the shreds and keeps the mess down.
The grater and the box are separate pieces. The box is handmade from pure olivewood by artisans in Umbria, Italy, using traditional hands-on techniques. Each piece varies in size and shape because it is handmade.
To keep the wood looking its best, coat it occasionally with olive oil or another vegetable oil. It comes in a reusable "alla cucina" bag.
