Maurizio's garlic grater is the one that always stays on the kitchen counter. Not in a drawer: right there, within reach, next to the chopping board and the hob.
 
Its terracotta surface has just the right roughness to grate fresh garlic effortlessly. It doesn't stain or hold on to flavours, and washes in a moment. Terracotta is the right material for an object in contact with food every day.
 
Handmade by Maurizio in Altomonte. The shape is simple and stable, designed not to slip while you work. The small variations in the surface are those of a handcrafted object.
 
Use it for garlic, nuts or ginger. For anything you want to turn into a fine paste without a knife.
 
A small object you miss when it isn't there.
