Louis Tellier

Welcome to our Louis Tellier boutique, a French brand of professional kitchen and pastry utensils since 1947. That year, Louis Tellier, a former sailor and veteran of the First World War, invented the world's first professional vegetable mill — a simple, revolutionary tool that would quickly equip French restaurant kitchens. Today based in Argenteuil (Val-d'Oise), the brand's historic site dedicated to mechanical food preparation, Louis Tellier supports chefs, pastry chefs, restaurateurs and institutional caterers with origins to check reference by reference.

Choosing your Louis Tellier utensils

What sets Louis Tellier utensils apart from consumer brands?

Louis Tellier designs first and foremost for professional kitchens, which translates into pronounced technical choices: thicker steels, reinforced joints, ergonomics designed for intensive daily use. This professional demand explains the recognised longevity of the brand's tools, often passed on through multiple cohorts at French hospitality schools.

Why is the Louis Tellier vegetable mill a reference?

Louis Tellier invented the world's first professional vegetable mill in 1947. The model has been refined over the decades — interchangeable discs, ergonomic handle, stainless steel body — and remains today an undisputed reference in French kitchens for soups, purées, coulis and compotes. It is the long-standing, irreplaceable workhorse of the prep station.

How do I choose the right disc for a Louis Tellier vegetable mill?

Tellier vegetable mills accept several interchangeable discs, distinguished by hole size. Fine discs (1 to 2 mm) suit smooth purées, seedless berry coulis and compotes. Medium grids (3 mm) are the all-rounder for soups and veloutés. Coarser discs (4 mm and above) keep texture for crushed potatoes, homemade tomato sauces or strained jams.

Which Louis Tellier utensils for a demanding home kitchen?

For a demanding home kitchen, the Tellier vegetable mill remains a must-have for homemade soups and jams. The foie gras wire — AZ Boutique best-seller — is a discreet but transformative tool for plating. For the home bar, the Cocktail range delivers professional-service precision, and stainless steel fruit peelers offer durability far superior to consumer versions.
