A citrus zester is a kitchen tool that is used to cut tiny pith-free strips of lemon/orange/lime peel. The citrus peel is known for its concentrated oil that is filled with flavor,  which is great for flavoring any dish, sauces or dressing.  Zest adds a huge amount of flavor to your culinary creation or cocktail.   

The key to a good zest is to only grate the colorful peel and avoid the white bitter pith that is underneath the peel. 

Our premium classic zesters also can be used to grate hard cheeses such as parmesan, mince garlic and ginger.
