Cheese Grater

Graters for Cheese

Invented in the 1540s by Frenchman Francois Boullier, the cheese grater has come a long way and has become a must-have in any business or commercial kitchen.

Today, different types of Cheese Slicers are available, with some used in smaller delis for slicing cheese into smaller blocks or pieces for sale, right through to graters that are used in the commercial kitchens of pizzerias and even dairy farms that work with or produce cheese products on a large scale.

Smaller box commercial graters are commonly found in households and kitchens, whilst larger graters are typically used in commercial operations where large amounts of cheese are processed and used.

Many people don’t know that cheese shredders are not only used for cheese. They can also be used to grate and crush nuts and crumbing bread.

Many rotary and electric cheese graters can help you achieve perfectly grated cheese for your food and cuisine. It is important that you select the right type of equipment for your operations. Since graters can help you produce different outputs, it is important that you know exactly what type of grater to use as you prepare your dish or food item. Whether you want to shred, slice, grate and zest the cheese, there are graters available that can achieve one, many or all tasks.

If you are preparing a salad, adding parmesan to a spaghetti dish, or assembling a cheese platter, a multi-purpose box grater or a versatile microplane grater can achieve all tasks. The large shredding holes on a grater are useful for soft cheeses and you can quickly shred the cheese to prepare fillings and add to dishes like pizza. The medium shredding holes can also be used for soft cheese and are ideal for food items that require more finely grated cheese like arancini. The smallest shredding holes are suitable for hard cheeses like parmesan which can be added to pasta dishes.

For larger operations requiring cheese preparation on scale, automatic machines can help to grate cheese without much oversight autonomously. This is ideal for large restaurants, catering facilities and delis that need to prepare cheese for cooking or direct sale in short amounts of time. The machines can be set to grate large volumes of soft and hard types of cheese without significant effort, delay or downtime. This helps to speed up food preparation so that it is ready for sale or use in food preparation.

At Brice Australia, we stock various types of Commercial & Industrial cheese graters / Cheese shredders to help you prepare food perfectly. Our Kitchen Equipment range includes European-inspired and manufactured versatile, user-friendly and reliable tools.
