Vitto Chef’s Testing Needle - Engravable

Created in collaboration with Chef Vittorio De Palma, the Vito Chef’s Testing Needle brings a chef-led approach to one of the professional kitchen’s most trusted tools.

Developed from Vittorio’s original idea, every detail has been considered around the way chefs work through service. As Head Chef at Michelin-starred Luca’s in Florence, Vittorio brings the experience and instinct of the professional kitchen directly into the design.

Crafted entirely from stainless steel, the ultra-fine testing needle slides smoothly from its protective barrel when needed and stores neatly back inside when not in use, keeping the point safely concealed.

Its fine profile allows chefs to test temperature and doneness by touch with minimal disturbance to meat, fish, bread and cake while the integrated engravable clip keeps it securely within reach on an apron or pocket throughout service.

Simple, precise and built for daily use, the Vitto Chef’s Testing Needle is a dependable tool for chefs who rely on touch, instinct and consistency in the kitchen.
