Kalevala Day, also known as Finnish Culture Day, is celebrated on February 28th. For us food lovers, it’s also a day of food culture, since cuisine is a big part of any country’s heritage. Finnish and Nordic food culture includes many great dishes, traditions, and also essential kitchen tools — one of the most iconic being the cheese slicer.
What makes HEIROL’s cheese slicer the best in the world?
HEIROL cheese slicers feature a serrated edge on the cutting slot. The serration allows air to flow between the slicer and the cheese while cutting, which helps even softer cheeses slice smoothly and evenly without wrinkling. Thanks to this design, the slices come out just the right thickness — not too thin and not too thick. The slicers are made from hardened, high-quality steel that flexes slightly but does not bend out of shape. The HEIROL Steely series products are durable and hygienic, with a solid stainless steel handle that prevents dirt and water from getting inside.
A cheese slicer is not only for slicing cheese — this everyday multi-tool is also excellent for peeling carrots and other vegetables. It creates perfect thin carrot ribbons for salads and makes it easy to slice fresh ginger into thin pieces. And you probably know the moment when you have a warm slice of rye bread and want a generous layer of real butter on top — just take cold butter straight from the fridge and shave off the perfect slice with a cheese slicer. Delicious!
