The When And Why Of Cheese Knives

Main categories of cheese, and which knives to use for them

What’s your favorite type of cheese? There are so many to choose from, it might be too difficult to decide on just one. If you love cheese as much as I do, you’ll want to know everything to possibly maximize your eating experience.

This ranges from how to cook with different types of cheese all the way down to the smallest details, like which type of knife is best to use with the different kinds of cheese. 

I’m constantly on the lookout for new things to learn about cooking and food. That’s why I was delighted and surprised to come across this infographic about the different ways to use specific cheese knives. I’d never even thought to use a different knife to slice cheddar than I would to dig into a wheel of brie. 

Not only does using the right knife make slicing cheese easier and safer for you, but it also ensures that the cheese slices will look better because the cut is smoother. If you want to host a fancy dinner party, or if you want to sit at home and eat a block of cheese in your pajamas (no judgement) now you’ll know which type of knife to use to enhance either experience.
