A classic with a history

This press is not just any press: it is the original garlic press, not a copy. Yes, the garlic press was invented by Karl Zysset, founder of Zyliss, in 1948. His idea revolutionized home cooking: an efficient, clean, and durable press that kept your hands clean and made the most of every garlic clove.

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