What are people saying about Italian Mezzaluna - Large?
How to use
Using the Italian Mezzaluna is simple and incredibly efficient. Just place your herbs, vegetables, or nuts on a cutting board, grip the beechwood handles firmly, and rock the curved stainless-steel blade back and forth in a smooth, teeter-totter motion. Unlike regular knives that chop straight down, the Mezzaluna’s rocking movement helps to release natural oils and aromas without crushing the ingredients.
It’s perfect for quickly mincing garlic, parsley, onions, and more—giving you finely chopped ingredients with minimal effort. To keep it in top condition, always hand wash and dry immediately after use.
