Product Description

Great for entertaining, this Picnic Time Circo Cheese Set features a swivel-style circular chopping board made of naturally durable hardwood. The top of this uniquely designed cheese set slides away on a hinge, revealing the gadgets nested inside. The four assorted tools feature stainless steel, full-tang construction, and include one each; cheese plane, knife/spreader, curved knife with a dual pronged tip for lifting, and a sharp cheese knife/cutter for extra hard cheeses. Additional features of the Circo cheese set include a recessed moat along the board's edge to catch cheese brine or other liquids, and a generous surface area for serving. This is a great gift idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect cheese board and tool set, January 9, 2011

This is a great set for the price. I looked at a lot of sets and compared prices online, and the knives plus the cheese board, are great. A lot of cheese sets don't come with the shaver for hard cheeses, but this one does. The tools are also full tang, hard metal. They don't flex and they aren't flimsy. They store conveniently in the cheese board, and the board is easily opened. There are two indents where you place your fingers to swivel it open.

I would recommend this, buy it again, and also use it for a gift.

This is one of the most useful items I have purchased in a long time. We eat a lot of cheese. I serve it whenever we have guests, too. Now I don't have to search for knives, because all the cheese knives are right there! And since the board is nice and thick, but not too heavy, it makes a great presentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Become A Master At Cutting The Cheese!, March 24, 2008

By 

The Amazin' Amazon Guy "Help Me I'm Too Cool!" (Turnersville, NJ) - See all my reviews

My wife and I have held our share of elegant dinner parties, and we always take great care to provide top quality gourmet foods. She pays special attention to the hors d'oeuvres (whatever they are) while I usually handle the main courses. So her part includes the cheeses, and while she took great pains to cut the cheese carefully before, until now she had yet to receive any compliments on her detailed and artful cheese-cutting skills.

So knowing how much effort she puts into it, last Christmas I gave her the CIRCO Cheese Cutting Board Set, and now she gets tons of praise at our dinner parties about how she can so effortlessly and efficiently cut the cheese. At every party we have now, it seems as though we get at least 3 or 4 compliments on the delightfully fragrant cheese that she cuts all by herself. Our guests say things like, "Holy muenster, who cut the cheese?" or "Wow! Did you actually cut the cheese in your kitchen?" The high point was when my mother, who is not known for handing out culinary compliments lightly, actually told my wife: "I don't like to admit this, but I wish I could cut the cheese like you can!" And that was just music to my wife's ears. She is absolutely thrilled with this set!

In addition to the boards, the package contains a swivel set that allows for circular cutting; and it has four different tools to make sure you have exactly the right cheese-cutting implement. There is even a little moat on the board for the excessive liquid that sometimes escapes when you cut the cheese. I can't believe no one thought of this before! Necessity is the mother of invention of course, but sometimes it takes time to even see the obvious. Kudos to the minds at CIRCO!

And the naturally durable hardwood ensures that you will be masterfully cutting the cheese at dinner parties for years to come. It's everything you could ask for in a cheese-cutting set!
