sharper, smarter, more versatile: zyliss launches the new professional cheese graters
DK Household Brands is proud to unveil the next generation of its iconic zyliss cheese graters. Building on the global success of its predecessor, the new range redefines everyday grating with professional-level speed, precision, and ease. The next generation includes two distinct models: Professional Cheese Grater and Professional Cheese Grater Set.
The previous-generation zyliss cheese grater has long been a kitchen favorite, serving as the official Olive Garden™ cheese grater since 1992 and the top-selling cheese grater on Amazon US, with one sold every 2.7 minutes. Its viral moment came on TikTok when a video from Jordan The Stallion earned over 15 million views, cementing its status as a cultural and culinary icon, and it has been featured on iconic TV shows including Will & Grace (Season 7, Episode 4) and Conan O’Brien with Jordan Schlansky at Olive Garden.
the ultimate grating experience: introducing the new zyliss professional cheese graters
Building on this legacy, the new generation delivers faster, smoother, and more effortless performance than ever before. Two distinct models are available, each designed to perfectly match different needs.
key features of both models include:
- More than double the grated cheese output per complete hand cycle, with an over 20%* larger cheese chamber and a 30%* bigger drum capacity when compared to our previous generation
- Sharp acid-etched blades for easy, precise grating of hard dairy and vegan cheese, nuts, or chocolate
- Versatile crank mechanism, allowing seamless use for both left- and right-handed users
- Easy clean design with 180° fully opening handle and dishwasher safe components
- Ergonomic handle made with up to 15% wheat straw material, reducing virgin plastic use while providing a comfortable grip
- 5-year guarantee
Taking convenience in the kitchen to new level, the Professional Cheese Grater Set features a fridge-friendly clip-on container that catches every shred of freshly grated ingredients, keeping countertops clean. With its included lid, cheese stays fresh and ready to serve, making storage and entertaining simple.
Even more remarkably, the Professional Cheese Grater Set won the 2026 Red Dot Award for Product Design ahead of its official launch - a true testament to its innovation, functionality, and design excellence.
As the Red Dot Jury noted: “With its carefully considered construction and the harmonious combination of performance and ergonomics, the Professional Cheese Grater Set presents a compelling product solution.”
Both models are available from Q2 2026. Exact availability may vary depending on the geographic region. For more information about our brand and products, visit: www.zyliss.com
