Flywheel manual slicer Stella Duci Tribute Red

The blue shield, the embattled band, and the three golden stars evoke precision, solidity, and durability, while the name Stella Duci, understood as “star of excellence,” recalls the craftsmanship that made vintage slicers and scales famous.

The Stella Duci mark historically appeared on certain vintage Berkel scales, particularly models produced in the mid-20th century, and was later applied to post-war slicer models, gradually establishing itself as a distinctive sign appreciated by collectors and restorers.

Although it is not a true heraldic symbol, its decorative style and its application to high-precision instruments have helped confer upon these objects an aura of prestige: knights of romantic mechanics, symbols of reliability and beauty. Even today, a product bearing this emblem preserves the same promise and tradition: impeccable slicing and the value of a noble, timeless craft.

TRIBUTE, the flywheel meat slicer for home use

Tribute is inspired by one of the most renowned Berkel models. The flower flywheel, gold colour decors, and elegant design make this meat slicer a true tribute to tradition. This artisanal machine is much appreciated by cuisine enthusiasts and those who know that the perfect cut is essential to maintain and enhance the quality of a product.

Its considerable cutting capacity makes it ideal for those who enjoy the real flavour of things, whereas its elegance makes it perfect for those who love all things beautiful.

Tribute has a blade with a 300 mm diameter. It is available in 2 standard colours: red and black. Its accessories include a pedestal with art nouveau-inspired decors.
