About the Brand

By now, cooking aficionados worldwide are familiar with the Microplane story: A housewife commandeers one of her husband’s favorite woodworking tools and discovers it effortlessly produces the lightest, most wonderful orange zest she could have ever imagined. Next, after much consumer input and understanding of the challenges chefs face in the kitchen, an entire new product line of graters was introduced. Since that time, Microplane graters have distinguished themselves from other graters by using that signature chemical process to create ultra-sharp cutting edges. Unlike stamped graters, they effortlessly cut through hard and soft foods without tearing or shredding with blades made in the USA. Based in Russellville, Arkansas, 2019 marked the 25^th anniversary of Microplane, now an employee-owned company.
