I'd seen them, of course, but had some vague idea that the blade simply came DOWN to cut a wedge or slice.<br /><br />How lovely! I love learning all these new things from so many different places. Thank you.<br /><br />rachel That is absolutely fascinating!! I'd seen them, of course, but had some vague idea that the blade simply came DOWN to cut a wedge or slice.

Here is an answer to your "ruffle" question from wikipedia: The Girolle is an utensil, which was conceived to simplify the scratching of the Tête de Moine Swiss Cheese in form of beautiful "rosettes", hence also called "Girolles". Since its invention in 1982 by Nicolas Crevoisier of Swiss Jura, more than 2 million users in households and restaurants have been enjoying the authentic unique savour of the cheese invented and produced by the monks of the then abbey of Bellelay.<br />LL Hi Rachel – thanks for commenting.

Pray what is that exquisite ruffle on the third plate? <br /><br />I can't wait to show these to daughter Caro, who chooses and composes all our cheese plates.<br /><br />rachel I'm WAY late to this lovely cheese party, but I LOVE it when a reply to an older post I've written signals that someone is enjoying it anew and comments to say so.

I can't wait to show these to daughter Caro, who chooses and composes all our cheese plates.
