The Courtyard Deli in York was struggling with portion control for its popular but creamy local blue cheese, leading to inconsistent slices and significant wastage. They needed a solution that any staff member could use to produce professional results.
"The Boska cutter immediately improved our workflow. The slices are identical every time, which looks so much better on our platters. Our customers have noticed the difference, and our wastage on soft cheese is way down. It paid for itself in a matter of weeks."
Robert Finch – Owner
By implementing the Boska slicer, The Courtyard Deli reduced its soft cheese wastage by over 20% and cut prep time for its bestselling cheese platters by a third.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this to cut hard cheese like Parmesan?
A: No, this is designed specifically as a soft cheese cutter. Using it on hard cheese could damage the wire and the unit.
Q: Will crumbly cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort just fall apart?
A: The thin wire is excellent for blue cheeses, as it cuts cleanly through the paste without crumbling it as much as a knife would.
Q: Is the cutting wire replaceable if it breaks?
A: Yes, replacement wires for Boska slicers are typically available, making it a long-lasting piece of equipment.
Q: How do I clean it properly?
A: It's very simple. The unit disassembles, and the plastic board is dishwasher proof. The metal parts should be washed by hand.
Q: Will really sticky cheeses like a fresh goat's cheese log stick to the wire?
A: No, the key benefit of the wire is that its minimal surface area prevents cheese from sticking, which is a common issue with knife blades.
Q: What is the purpose of the small gutter on the board?
A: This is designed to catch moisture or whey from very fresh cheeses like mozzarella or certain cream cheeses, keeping your work surface clean.
Q: Is the plastic board food-grade?
A: Absolutely. It's made from high-quality, food-safe plastic suitable for any commercial kitchen environment.
Q: Is the slicer stable enough on a stainless steel counter?
A: Yes, it has a solid base and weighs nearly 3kg, providing a stable platform for safe and effective cutting.
The Boska Difference: Precision in Every Slice
When you invest in a Boska cheese slicer for restaurants, you're not just buying a piece of equipment; you're buying into over 100 years of Dutch passion for cheese. Boska doesn't make general catering tools; they live and breathe 'cheesewares'. This specialism is evident in the thoughtful design of the CU118. The perfect wire tension, the easy-to-clean materials, and the sheer reliability are born from decades of focusing on one thing. For your business, this translates to tangible value beyond the initial purchase. You get unparalleled consistency, which means better portion control, less waste, and higher profits. More importantly, it delivers a superior product to your customer—a perfectly presented slice that reflects the quality of the cheese itself. It’s a small tool that makes a big statement about your commitment to quality.
Explore more from BoskaWhy a Thin Wire Cutter Beats a Knife Every Time
Ever tried to slice a soft, sticky cake with a thick kitchen knife? It drags, squashes the sponge, and leaves a messy trail of icing. Using a knife on soft cheese, like a creamy brie or a crumbly stilton, causes the exact same problem. The blade's wide surface area creates friction and drag, smearing the cheese and causing it to stick. This professional soft cheese wire cutter solves that by using tension and a razor-thin cutting edge. Think of it like a cheese garrotte; the wire has minimal surface area, so it glides through cleanly without squashing the delicate structure. This means no smearing, no sticking, and a perfect slice that preserves the cheese's texture and appearance, from rind to centre.
