The Best Cheese Slicer (Review) in 2020

The quality of the Bellemain Cheese Slicer is impressive yet this easy-to-use gadget is not going to break the bank. And when it comes to your cheese it’s great value for money as the design means it can be adjusted to your preferred thickness, from wafer thin to chunky slices up to ¼ inch thick. Made from heavy duty zinc alloy, this adjustable slicer has an elegant styling that would look good on a cheese board, but its practical design makes it a breeze to use. Simply roll down the cheese block and the adjustable wire slices to perfection. You also get a replacement wire just in case, so you’ll never be short of sliced cheese again. It can slice most types of soft medium to hard cheeses and the business end of this slicer is wide enough to handle cheese blocks up to 3.5 inches wide. Definitely our best cheese slicer top buy. 

Solid and well designed, our Premium Pick knows its cheese slicing business and can also be used for a wide range of meats and salads, making it the ultimate multi-tasker. Made from durable ABS plastic, the Westmark chopping board is a decent size and has rubber feet for no-slip slicing. The cheese cutter mechanism is clever too, with an easy-to-use dial so you can adjust for your desired slice thickness. Then simply place your cheese or meat onto the board and use the ergonomic handle with a stainless steel blade for a precision cut. The only downside is that the cheese is sliced on the edge of the board so you need something to catch the cheese but other than that, this is a top-quality block cheese slicer that will last you many years. 

This cheese slicer board from Fox Run is a handsome thing, thanks to the 100% marble and unique pattern effect. The marble also means the board stays cool, helping to keep your sliced cheese nice and fresh. The board is a decent size, meaning it can easily take larger blocks of cheese and will look good out on display. As a slicer it performs well, thanks to the stainless wire cutter and comfortable handle. There is no device to help you measure your slices so it will need to be done by eye, but the precision slicing of the cheese wire is impressive and makes a lovely smooth cut. With rubber feet to keep the board secure, this marble cheese slicer is easy to clean and comes complete with two replacement wires so good value too. 

Specifically designed for harder cheeses, this smart-looking handheld cheese slicer from Boska doesn’t disappoint. The straightforward design belies a skillful slicer, which smoothly cuts through even hard cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano without crumbling. Simply plane the flexible blade down the edge of the cheese for quick and easy slicing with smooth control. The whole gadget is made from sturdy stainless steel and the handle is well shaped to fit nicely into the hand. What we also like about the Boska is that it can be a smart addition to a wire cheese board for when you want to impress at your dinner party. Dishwasher safe, this is the best cheese slicer to make a lovely gift for the fromage lover in your life. 

OXO make great easy to use kitchen gadgets and this handheld cheese slicer is no exception. Similar to a vegetable peeler, it comes with a wire slicer that can be tightened for optimum slicing performance. Made from die-cast zinc, it features a rubber covered handle for comfort as well as a replacement wire should the original wear out. The Oxo is ideal for general use in the kitchen for when you need to effortlessly slice hard to soft cheese for sandwiches or quick meals. And the gap in the slicing head is wide enough for you to vary the slice thicknesses as you need them. With a hanging loop and easy to clean design, the OXO is the perfect everyday cheese slicer at a good price. 

We like the sleek almost Scandi design of this cheese slicer, thanks to the natural beechwood board. The wood is smooth and lightly stained but easy to wipe down to keep clean. Plus, you get non-slip rubber feet to keep the whole cheese slicer secure. To precision cut your hard or soft cheese, there’s a heavy-duty black metal arm that smoothly swings into place and a cutting wire made from stainless steel to cut through harder cheeses. The wire is also replaceable and even comes with a lifetime warranty. For leaving on the kitchen worktop for when you get the cheese munchies or putting in pride of place at a party, this is a cheese board you will enjoy having in your home. 

Perfect for having in the kitchen drawer for those spontaneous cheese moments, the K Basix is a sturdy handheld designed to slice both hard and soft cheese. The simple planning action cuts neatly into the cheese, slicing off consistently sized pieces of cheese. Made from quality stainless steel with an ergonomic soft handle, the slicer is also dishwasher safe and comes with a lifetime warranty. The K Basix is a versatile addition to your kitchen too, as it can double up as a vegetable peeler, butter shaver and even a pie slice. And all for around $10, so excellent value for a slicer you will get plenty of use out of, especially if you have a busy, cheese-loving family!

The Fox Run adjustable cheese slicer looks far more expensive than its best value price tag and we think it performs just as well as more pricier models. Made from high gloss stainless steel, and with an adjustable wire, you can tailor the slice thickness to exactly how you want it. Choose from wafer thin to ¼ in thick slices, whatever your recipe or sandwich calls for. As a handheld slicer, it is up for regular everyday use and can work with most soft-medium to harder cheeses. And the wide head means it can handle larger blocks of cheese, up to 3.5in wide. Comes with a wire replacement too, just in case. One of the best cheese slicers in our review. 

Extra-large to slice cheese up to 4 inches wide, the Westmark heavy duty cheese slicer is the tough guy on the block. As a handheld cheese peeler, this slicer will not let you down, thanks to the solid cast aluminum body and durable stainless steel wire. It is also adjustable, so you can vary the slice thickness just by changing the angle of the slicing wire. The Westmark works just as well with soft cheeses as it does with the harder variety, and you can retain a comfortable grip, thanks to the ergonomically designed handle. It isn’t dishwasher safe but is easily cleaned by hand and has a convenient hanging loop for convenient storage. A good, all round buy for smooth, consistent slices. 

A slightly different design to other cheese slicers in our review, the Triangle doesn’t lose out on performance in favor of its quirky looks. This slicer is very lightweight and features two stainless steel slicing wires that run down the body, so you hold and use it like a paring knife. The two wires enable you to vary the slice, from thin to thick. This is a great device for semi-hard cheeses and the easy-grip handle gives you comfortable control. Plus, you get a pronged fork at the end of the slicer for picking up your freshly sliced cheese pieces. A little unusual in looks perhaps but stylish all the same and certainly a talking point on the cheese board when you have guests around!
