For serving nice cheeses at home, having a proper cheese slicer or cheese knife is essential. A cheese slicer is a nice presentation piece, helps keep your cheese cool, and you can slice off as much or as little as you want. Slices are always neat and consistent. Plus, cheese slicers make a great gift!
Cheese slicers with a plastic base tends to be dishwasher-safe, lightweight and more sanitary than wood.
Marble base cheese slicers have a nice presence and help keep the cheese cool and look fresh. They are also sanitary and usually have rubber pads on the bottom to keep it from sliding. Marble cheese sliders enhance any decor.
Wood cheese slicers are fairly light and often have recesses to organize fruit and crackers. A nicely finished wood piece becomes more beautiful with use and can last for decades.
Hand-held stainless steel cheese slicers are also long lasting and don’t rust or crack. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to store.
