Located in the Bavaria region of Germany, family- owned Rosle has been steadily creating the best tools and utensils in the world since 1888. Each Rosle product joins design and function in perfect harmony. 18/10 stainless steel is used in production providing a professional utensil that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but hygienic, neutral to flavors and odors, easy to clean. During the development phase – which lasts from 1 to 2 years on average – each product goes through a trial period where it is critically evaluated by cooking schools and professional chefs. During production, Rosle utensils go through an elaborate manufacturing processes and only leave the premises after passing strict quality control. Professional and home chefs alike sing the praise of this integrated collection, widely recognized as the best on the market.

Hold mill in your palm and place your thumb on top of the unit. The pressure applied guides the cheese onto the grating surface from above, while you turn the crank lever- It is the easiest and most efficient cheese mill on the market.

Made of 18/10 stainless steel and synthetic POM material, all parts are dishwasher safe.

good quality materials – horrible designI find this grater nearly impossible to use effectively and thought seriously about returning it. Efforts at hand holding it never work out – its hard to handle if not painful because its not designed for hand holding at all. The only way to use it, is to put is flat onto a countertop, with the handle overhanging the counter so it can turn – then press down with the palm of your hand on the top of it – somewhat painfully. Meanwhile you need a third hand to actually press the cheese/chocolate down onto the grater. Since you don’t have that, you basically just turn and turn and hope the cheese catches without any downward pressure on it – so that means you turn the knob three times as many times as you would otherwise.While doing this, you can’t really see how much grated cheese is being produced because its staying inside the horizontal cylinder , and its faced away from you. Finally you finish, and shake the shavings into your soup or whatever, and you open it up, and find that there’s 20% more that’s trapped inside of the mechanism – so you have to completely take it apart each and every time you use it.I had a Williams and Sonoma hand grater that worked really nicely – you could hand hold it, and put pressure on the cheese, and you could see the cheese coming out as it happened. The only problem was that it had a plastic axel that broke after 9 months. So this one is far better materials.I think I am going to look for one of the Chinese metal hand graters.

This is the best cheese graterIt took me a minute to realize, I’m not strong enough to grate a huge chunk of cheese. So I put smaller chunks in, held the grater so the grated cheese dropped straight into the bowl, and had no trouble getting the job done quickly. The surprise was, the cylinder comes out and the stainless steel housing for it opens wide for easy and complete cleaning (I used the dishwasher). This is the best I’ve tried. my daughter stole it– I’m buying another…

Barrel gets stuckBought this without reading the reviews as I own 10+ Rösle products and all have always been top quality. I just thought this cheese mill would work without a glitch like all other Rösle products I own. But this cheese mill is very poorly designed; cheese gets stuck between the barrel and the outer casing and this blocks it from rotating. Very disappointing. Hard cheeses with a tough external crust dont work well in this mill. Never had this problem in my cheaper plastic Zyliss cheese mill

Don’t Buy This — Trust me, you’ll regret itThis is an elegant design, and well manufactured. The problem? It simply doesn’t work. The little card it came with says something to the effect that it took two years to develop. However, I don’t believe the designers ever tried to grate some real cheese. It can’t have been tested very much. I tried it with both soft and hard cheeses and you can’t get a good grip on it and trying to force the cheese into the grater with thumb pressure is not only awkward, but I found it actually impossible. I’m not disabled or arthritic, and I still couldn’t get it to work. I’ll try to return it, but I didn’t save the packaging… Keep looking for that perfect grater. This one should get five stars for being unusual design and NO STARS for being worthless. Really worthless.

Believe the other 1-star reviews. Don’t buy it!Normally I’m all about Rosle. Love made and designed in Germany. So when I needed a new cheese grater I was happy to overpay for this. Big mistake. I’m sure i now have carpal tunnel syndrome for using this for a month. I keep trying and trying, wondering what I must be getting wrong. Seriously. Major hand cramps trying to use this. I’ve just finally given up and writing this review to hopefully convince you not to do this. I used to always have Zyliss graters and loved them. I’m going to throw away this Rosle and buy a Zyliss as soon as I click “done” on this review,

Does not really workI went with the brand ROESLE and ignored previous comments but have to admit that they were right: this is another invention of a cheese mill that does not work. It’s hard to put pressure on the cheese while rotating the handle. The sharp spikes also seem to damage the lid sooner or later. I would not buy it again.Why is it so difficult to invent a good cheese mill?

excellent hand-held graterexcellent hand-held grater… unlike many other reviewers I found this style to be preferable when compared to the more common varieties with the large handle area. both my husband (larger hands) and I (smaller hands) find this a joy to use and much easier to handle than the aforementioned styles. of course, the Rosle quality is unmatched.

It’s the cheese mill you want!Once you get the hang of how to use it, this thing is fantastic. I agree that with softer cheeses it doesn’t do it’s best work, but I have yet to find a crank cheese mill that does. Easy to clean, and elegant in design.
