Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester

Premium Zester

The Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester is a kitchen essential for anyone who values precision and quality. Known for its ultra-sharp, photo-etched stainless steel blade, this zester grates with ease and accuracy, producing fine, fluffy results without tearing or crushing ingredients.

Perfect for zesting citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, and oranges, it captures only the flavourful outer layer while avoiding the bitter pith. It’s equally effective for finely grating hard cheeses like Parmesan, fresh ginger, garlic, chocolate, and spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon. The soft-touch handle offers comfort and control, while the non-slip rubber foot helps keep the tool steady during use. Dishwasher safe and supplied with a protective cover, it’s a durable choice for both professional chefs and home kitchens.
