Swissmar's Bamboo Wire Cheese Slicer is a superior cutting board. Its surface is 16% harder that maple, allowing for fewer cutting marks. Along with its hard surface, bamboo doesn't absorb moisture, ensuring that your board will maintain its shape with washing, time and time again. Not only is bamboo an ideal working surface for cutting, it's a safe and ecological choice. Bamboo is a grass, not a wood that grows quickly and replenishes itself. At Swissmar, our aim is to bring you quality products that stand the best of time! Swissmar Imports is one of the leading distributors of European housewares and cookware to a worldwide market. Throughout the past two decades, Swissmar has remained focused on our original pledge to bring you the "Gourmet Goods" and the next twenty years will bring even more excitement and innovation as we continue to offer you the world's best.
