Why you should choose Zassenhaus

Zassenhaus's appeal lies in the use of different types of wood, carefully selected to ensure durability and quality. As wood is a natural product, the grain of each item is unique. Zassenhaus makes use of well-known wood species like acacia, bamboo and oak, but also more unique wood like mango wood can be found in Zassenhaus' extensive and diverse range.

Zassenhaus product types

Zassenhaus knife blocks

With the elegant and magnetic Zassenhaus knife blocks you can easily and safely store your knives. The strong magnets keep every knife with a length of up to approximately 23 cm in place. Because of the three strong magnetic strips, you can add up to 10 knives to the block. The knife blocks can be used on both sides. With a Zassenhaus knife block your stunning kitchen knives will be the highlight of your kitchen.

Zassenhaus cutting boards

Every wooden Zassenhaus cutting board is made by hand and unique. Wood, after all, is a natural material which can differ in terms of shape and colour. Because of a heat treatment the board is resistant to any kind of wood fungi. By regularly adding a drop of maintenance oil, your cutting board will stay in great condition and won't crack.

History of Zassenhaus

Zassenhaus began in 1867 as a trading company in Tönisheide, Rheinland, and developed into a manufacturer of lap coffee grinder mills. Despite challenges such as a major fire and the impact of World War II, the company continued to grow and innovate, expanding its range to include bread-slicing machines, pepper mills and irons. In the late 20th century, despite a decline in demand for hand-operated coffee grinders, Zassenhaus included household items and gift items made of wood to their range. In 2000, the company launched the globally unique CeraPlus grinding mechanism for pepper mills. Today, after a period of hardship, with production relocations, layoffs and eventually bankruptcy, Zassenhaus has successfully recovered and is now based in Solingen, staying true to its passion for craftsmanship and high quality standards.
