Stainless Steel Rotary Cheese Grater

When you use a quick rotary cheese grater it's all another taste when you grate fresh authentic Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese over your pasta, nothing to do with already grated store bought parmesan.

So, the best is to grate it yourself, some nice Parmiggiano Reggiano with a good stainless steel cheese grater.

I've chosen a couple of rotary types here that are very similar to our Italian style of cheese graters.

Just remember that these graters are NOT suitable for grating soft cheese such as Cheddar or mozzarella for pizza.

This is what I have read from Amazon reviews, people make wrong use of these rotary cheese graters. If they could, they would even try to grate a stone.

Metal Stainless Steel Grater

Stainless Steel Rotary Cheese Grater & Parmesan Shaker

This Italian style stainless steel rotary cheese grater remembers my mother's one which she was using in the 60s, but even though today it's still current and essential.

I'm saying this because I've personally used a similar one when I was a child, always wanting to grate cheese for everybody at the table. I thought it was a toy, just wanting to play with it.

Yes, it's very easy to use and suitable for a little amount of grated cheese, and as I said even a child can use.

This metal type of cheese grater can handle hard cheeses without any problem, and plus they are very easy to wash and clean. All you need to do is rinse it in warm water after use, even though you can place it with all the drum in your dishwasher.

The Gem of all Cheese Graters

Alessi Cheese Rolling Grater

Yes, this is a masterpiece a real gem designed by Davide Piazza in 1912 and made by Alessi Italy.

With this tool you can grate until your smallest piece of expensive Parmiggiano Reggiano remains without grating your fingers.

This is what might happen with a normal flat cheese grater.

Zyliss Cheese Grater

Zyliss All Cheese Grater, Fine and Course Drum Set, White

This is the grater with most Amazon's customer reviews that I have seen.

Zyliss is a Swiss brand well known in U.S. and can easily grate soft cheeses such as Cheddar or mozzarella.

Much more with this one is that you can grate all hard vegetables, nuts, chocolate and so on due to the double grating drums.

Although different from our Italian style of cheese graters, but indeed this is a real complete grating machine.
