From the toolbox directly to the kitchen, that's how this success story began. Microplane is part of the Grace Manufacturing family company from Arkansas USA, which has gained almost 40 years of experience in the field of photochemical production. Originally, the Microplane grater was designed for woodworking. To the great astonishment of Richard Grace, one of the founders of the company, professional chefs and amateurs bought his grater in large quantities as a citrus and hard cheese grater. The discovery that the tiny sharp blades of the wood rasp can also finely grate and slice food instead of crushing it, laid the foundation for the success of the Microplane kitchen grater. Nowadays, the company sets a new standard in the development and functionality of kitchen graters. With a special and complex manufacturing process, Microplane produces durable and extremely sharp cutting edges that effortlessly glide through any food. Let this special kitchen tool convince you.
