Why You’ll Love It

The osthyvel is one of the most familiar tools found in Scandinavian kitchens, making it easy to prepare neat and consistently thin slices directly from a block of cheese.

Unlike cutting cheese with a knife, the wide slicing blade helps produce slices with a more even thickness. This makes it particularly convenient when preparing several sandwiches, breakfast plates or servings of crispbread.

The slightly curved outer edges of the blade are designed to reduce contact and friction against the cheese. This helps the slicer move more smoothly while allowing the finished slice to separate more easily.

The black handle provides a stable and comfortable grip, while the lightweight construction makes the slicer easy to guide without requiring excessive pressure.

Its uncomplicated design also makes it easy to clean and maintain. After use, it can be placed in the dishwasher or washed by hand with warm water and ordinary dishwashing liquid.

Made in Sweden by Jonas of Sweden, this cheese slicer reflects the practical and dependable character associated with traditional Scandinavian kitchen utensils.

Suitable Cheese Types

The Jonas of Sweden Osthyvel is particularly suitable for:

• Swedish household cheese
• Herrgård
• Grevé
• Präst
• Gouda
• Edam
• Cheddar
• Havarti
• Other hard and semi-hard cheeses

The slicing result may vary depending on the cheese’s hardness, temperature and moisture content.

For the best results, use the slicer with a chilled block of cheese that is firm enough to hold its shape.

How to Use

Remove any outer packaging or protective covering from the cheese.

Hold the cheese securely on a stable cutting board or work surface.

Place the cheese slicer flat against the upper surface of the cheese, with the cutting edge facing forward.

Pull the slicer smoothly towards you using light and controlled pressure.

The freshly cut cheese slice will pass through the opening in the blade and can then be placed directly on bread, crispbread, toast or a serving plate.

Using excessive pressure may create thicker or uneven slices. A gentle and steady movement generally provides the best result.

Helpful Serving Tips

Use freshly sliced cheese on Swedish knäckebröd with cucumber, tomato or sliced bell pepper for a simple Scandinavian breakfast.

Add thin cheese slices to open-faced sandwiches, toast, lunchboxes or warm sandwiches.

For a traditional Swedish-style serving, pair sliced cheese with crispbread, butter, coffee and marmalade.

The slicer can also be placed beside a firm cheese on a breakfast buffet or casual cheese board, allowing guests to prepare their own slices.

Care Instructions

Dishwasher safe.

The cheese slicer may also be washed by hand using warm water and ordinary dishwashing liquid.

Rinse away cheese residue shortly after use to prevent it from drying around the cutting edge.

Allow the slicer to dry completely before placing it in a drawer or utensil container.

Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scouring pads, as these may scratch the stainless-steel surface or damage the handle.

Important Safety Information

The stainless-steel cutting edge is sharp and should be handled carefully.

Always keep your fingers away from the blade while slicing cheese.

Use the slicer on a stable surface and ensure that the cheese is held securely.

Do not use the product as a knife, lever, scraper or tool for opening packaging.

Keep out of reach of young children.

Inspect the cheese slicer regularly and discontinue use if the blade or handle becomes damaged, loose or significantly bent.

This product is intended solely for food preparation and should only be used for its intended purpose.
