CARLOS loops garlic grater

A ceramic garlic grater inspired by school memories

This ceramic garlic grater was born from a detail many will recognize instantly: those small, regular loops we used to draw in our school notebooks. I used this simple, familiar pattern to decorate this hand-shaped stoneware piece from my workshop. Each loop is drawn with a blue oxide pencil, creating a lively, spontaneous, and slightly irregular design. I love the idea that a kitchen utensil can also tell a story and stir up memories during a meal.

A grating plate designed for the pleasures of Mediterranean cooking

This ceramic grating plate is ideal for easily preparing fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, or citrus zest. My favorite use remains the simplest: pour a drizzle of olive oil directly onto the central pattern, rub a clove of garlic, and mix. In seconds, you get a fragrant oil ready to serve with a piece of bread. This way of cooking, inspired by Mediterranean traditions, turns an everyday task into a small moment of shared pleasure.

A practical and durable ceramic garlic scraper

Much more than a simple garlic grater, this piece is a true ceramic garlic scraper designed for frequent use. High-fire stoneware provides strength and longevity, while its textured surface easily transforms fresh ingredients into a fine, fragrant paste. Unlike bulkier metal utensils, this small ceramic grater stores easily in a drawer while remaining beautiful enough to leave on the counter between recipes.

An artisanal object that brings character to the kitchen

At Grandchose, I love creating objects that go beyond simple utility. This ceramic garlic grater is a perfect example. It assists with daily prep while bringing a graphic and warm presence to the kitchen. Part culinary accessory, part decorative object, and a nostalgic nod to childhood, it naturally finds its place in a home where cooking with fresh produce and surrounding oneself with objects made to last is a way of life.
