Cutlery

When you're celebrating an event at your home with guests, cutlery might seem like a small detail compared to all the other things you need to take care of. But it's the small details that bring the most charm.

It's time to give forks, knives and spoons the recognition they deserve. Whether you're into minimalist style, or love the details of rustic or traditional design, we're here to help you make the perfect choice when it comes to cutlery and tableware sets.

The essentials: what's in a cutlery set?

Cutlery is the element that cannot be missing from the table and cannot be replaced by something else. Sure, food matters (obviously), but imagine eating an avocado with a spoon or trying to cut a beef steak with a butter knife. We recommend investing in a quality set that suits your style - whether you like sleek modern designs or a touch of rustic charm.

A basic cutlery set includes spoons, forks and knives. For those who want to always be prepared for any social-culinary situation, there are cutlery sets with additional elements such as butter knives, serrated steak knives, dessert spoons or forks.

If you enjoy hosting meals for family and friends, first of all make sure you have a large enough set of cutlery. That way you don't have to put forks and knives with different designs on the table.

Wondering if you really need a 24-piece flatware set or could you get by with a 16-piece set? If you have these questions in mind, our recommendation is to choose the larger option. You probably won't be hosting fancy parties every week, but according to Murphy's Law, it's highly likely that one of your guests will drop their forks on the floor and require a clean fork. It would be neither elegant nor pleasant to have to wash the dirty fork on the spot for lack of extra cutlery.

Cutlery, symbol of style and personality

We recommend that you buy quality stainless steel cutlery to prevent stains or corrosion over time. Stainless steel brings the advantage of a long life, but also a bright appearance that goes with any type of plate and will never go out of style.

When you organize festive meals or luxurious dinners, you want everything to look flawless. So, allow yourself the whimsy of having an elegant cutlery set that stands out from everyday table cutlery. Opt for gold, black or copper-colored cutlery. These sets guarantee a wow effect on your guests and look fantastic alongside the most elegant dinnerware sets.

The littlest diners at the table deserve just as much (if not more) a children's cutlery set to whet their appetite. Knives with rounded blades and spoons and forks with cute patterns help children associate food with positive feelings and a good mood, which contribute to a healthy eating routine in the long term.

How do you keep your gorgeous flatware shining?

Best advice? Avoid the dishwasher whenever you can - especially high-end, luxury or colorful cutlery sets, which can lose their finish. A quick hand wash with a mild detergent is ideal. In addition, by drying them immediately, you ensure that they do not rust and are kept like new for the next culinary event you organize.

In the case of kitchen cutlery, turn to cutlery holders that help you keep your kitchen organized, but also always have close at hand the wooden spoon and other utensils needed for everyday culinary tasks.
