A word about the item:

Did you know that Sapper, one of the designers we've been working with for a long time, the author of some of our most innovative objects, has the task at home of grating cheese for the whole family? Inspired by a long personal practice on the subject, he has designed this time a novelty that will fill with satisfaction the great consumers of grated cheese. Thanks to the exceptional stroke offered by the long truncated cone-shaped body, "Todo" allows you to grate the quantity of cheese needed for a single plate in a single pass. An excellent example of an object to show off on the table or in the kitchen, but also with a precise and innovative functionality that transforms one of the most boring and least rewarding culinary operations into a playful gesture.
