Alessi 5071 Parmesan cheese container

An elegant Parmesan cheese container designed by Ettore Sotsassa in 1978. It complements the 5070 spice set with which it shares its semicircular lines and polished stainless steel and glass workmanship.
Considered a design icon, the container appears as part of the collection in design museums all over the world.
Fitted with a solid circular base, the container is covered at the top with a steel lid in which a hole has been cut for inserting a spoon. A convenient handle allows the container to be carried and the lid to be handled easily.
