In 1994, a Canadian homemaker grew frustrated with her dull traditional cheese grater while making a orange cake. She borrowed a professional woodworking rasp tool from her husband\'s workshop—originally manufactured by Grace Manufacturing in Russellville, Arkansas—and discovered it grated citrus skin flawlessly. This sparked the creation of the Microplane kitchen line. Utilizing a patented chemical photo-etching process rather than stamped metal, Microplane manufactures their incredibly sharp blades right here in the USA. It remains the gold standard tool relied upon by celebrity chefs and home cooks worldwide.
