Not everything that’s made in The Deli Garage will have the pleasure of a rendezvous with the world’s finest palates. Some, quite simply, bomb in the cradle. Others can only be produced at first as a limited edition. But it’s the tricky, seemingly unsolvable problems that we get particularly enthusiastic about. For the specialists at the Deli Garage developing novel ideas and creations and readying them for serial production is what gets our motor running. One example is our Parmesan Cheese Pencils – up to now only attainable in a limited edition but already awarded with the Silver Lion for Design in Cannes.

There is no easier way to put parmesan on your food. Parmesan pencil in the parmesan pencil sharpener (included in the pack), give it a turn and voilá – perfect parmesan shavings for pasta and co. And the packaging is pretty nifty too. The scale on the back of the box tells you how much of the Parmesan Cheese Pencil you need for which dish and counts the calories for you too.

Now we’re not the only ones who think, „hey, great idea!“ But unfortunately getting the pencils ready for serial production hasn’t been as easy as we expected. There are all sorts of international food regulations as well as packaging and distribution directives. But hope is not lost! One day, they’ll be back. This time in a non-limited edition. But until then, back to the grater in the cupboard, please!
