Swissmar Girouette Cheese & Chocolate Scraper/Curler

This tool is specifically designed for semi-hard cheese wheels like Tête de Moine or similar varieties that can be shaved into thin rosettes. It is not suitable for soft cheeses like Brie or very hard cheeses like aged Parmesan.

No, the Swissmar Girouette is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the quality of the wood base and the sharpness of the stainless steel blade, we recommend hand washing all components with mild soap and drying them thoroughly.

The set includes a specialized metal mold that allows you to create chocolate curls or rosettes similar to the cheese technique. You simply place your chocolate block into the mold, secure it with the centering arm, and rotate the handle to shave delicate curls.

No, it does not require permanent mounting. The unit is designed as a standalone countertop piece with a weighted wood base that provides stability while you operate the manual handle.

The slice thickness is fixed by the design of the blade and the mechanism. It is engineered to produce consistent, delicate rosettes rather than adjustable slices.

The transparent dome serves two purposes: it protects your cheese or chocolate from drying out while sitting on the counter, and it keeps your food presentation hygienic during gatherings.
