Why use a garlic press?

• Press whole, unpeeled garlic cloves quickly and cleanly.
• Extract every bit of garlic pulp with ease, without effort or hard residue.
• Save time when preparing savoury dishes and sauces.
• Keep your hands free from lingering garlic odours.

A classic with a story

This isn't just any garlic press – it's the original garlic press, not an imitation. Yes, the garlic press was invented by Karl Zysset, founder of Zyliss, in 1948. His idea transformed home cooking: an efficient, hygienic and durable garlic press that kept hands clean while making the most of every garlic clove.

Since then, the Susi has become an icon in kitchens around the world and has inspired hundreds of imitations… but this is the genuine original. With more than 75 years of history, the Susi 4 remains the benchmark for Swiss quality, precision and durability.
