Wusthof Silverpoint mincing set is a great way to chop herbs. The combination of the board with a shallow well enables you to keep what you're cutting in a tighter area for quicker cutting. The blade is sometimes called a mezzaluna. It does a wonderful job at mincing chicken for Thai dishes, spring rolls and other Asian delights. The word mezzaluna means half moon in Italian, which describes its curved blade. It is the traditional tool used to make pesto in Italy. Use it for chopping garlic cloves or small amounts of onion.
