📋 Description

The Microplane Zester Premium Classic is the professional grater with photo-etched stainless steel blades manufactured in the USA that has transformed the mise en place of professional and home kitchens around the world. With 400 razor-sharp micro-teeth, it cuts citrus, hard cheeses, chocolate and whole spices with surgical precision — without tearing, without dispersing aroma.

Born for woodworking, adopted by great chefs

The Microplane Zester has an unusual history: born in the United States as a tool for woodworking, it was discovered by professional cooks who intuited its culinary potential. Today it is the go-to grating utensil for chefs and pastry chefs around the world — and Fontana Hotellerie proposes it for professional kitchens and foodservice as much as for high-end domestic use.

Photo-etched blades: the difference you taste on the plate

The photo-etching process creates extremely sharp cutting edges, not stamped or ground, that release the essential oils of ingredients instead of crushing them. Every pass over the Microplane Zester enhances the natural fragrance of lemon, orange, ginger or truffle without leaving bitter residue from the white part of citrus.

The stainless steel blades manufactured in the USA maintain their edge over time and resist corrosion, guaranteeing consistent performance even with intensive use in a professional kitchen.

What the Microplane Zester is perfect for

Citrus zest — lemon, orange, lime, bergamot — without the bitter white
Hard cheeses: Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, Grana Padano
Dark chocolate for pastry decorations and finishes
Fresh ginger, garlic, nutmeg, truffle
Whole spices, nuts, almonds and roots

Ergonomics and safety for extended use

The ergonomic soft-touch handle ensures a firm and comfortable grip even during prolonged service. The non-slip rubber feet stabilise the grater on the work surface, protecting countertops. The reusable protective cover included in the package protects the blades when not in use and allows safe storage in a drawer or utensil basket.

Can I use the Microplane Zester to grate truffle?

Yes. The 400 razor-sharp micro-teeth of the Microplane Zester work with precision even on delicate, precious ingredients such as truffle, fresh ginger and whole nutmeg, without wasting aroma or product.
