Microplane Gourmet Series Hard Cheese Grater – Fine, Black

Refined grating for hard cheese and beyond

Meet the Microplane Gourmet Series Hard Cheese Grater in fine grade, finished in a sleek black handle. This tool is designed to yield powder-like shreds that dissolve smoothly into sauces, melt into risottos, or top a dish with a delicate, airy dusting.

Prime uses you can count on

• Best for hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Asiago, and Manchego, producing light, fluffy shavings that blend without texture.
• Also excels with citrus zest, chili, ginger, and garlic, letting bright aromatics come through without fibrous bits.
• Fine grating helps achieve smooth blends in sauces, dressings, and toppings where texture matters.

Design, care, and handling

• Part of the Gourmet Series, this fine grater is built for consistent, controlled results with a sharp, durable blade.
• The black finish gives a modern look and pairs well with other kitchen tools; compact size fits in standard drawers.

Tips for best results

Grate hard cheeses with steady, short strokes to gather powder-like crumbs. For zest, apply light pressure to avoid the bitter pith. Rinse by hand and dry promptly to help maintain blade precision.

Real-life kitchen moments

Top a plate of pasta with delicate Parmesan snow, create a garlic-ginger glaze for roasted vegetables, or finish a fish crust with Parmesan dust. The fine grate supports even flavor distribution and a clean finish in many recipes.
