Berkel Cotton Apron – Red or Black with Gold Embroidery A pure cotton apron in Antique Red or Black, with the Berkel name embroidered in gold thread. It's made from a durable, resistant yarn built to hold up to regular kitchen use, whether you're slicing prosciutto, plating cheese, or working through a full evening of prep. Choose Antique Red for the heritage Berkel look, or Black for something more understated. Both share the same construction and embroidery detail. About Berkel Berkel has been making slicers since 1898, when Wilhelmus Adrianus van Berkel patented the original hand-cranked flywheel design in Rotterdam. The company's design and product work is based in Italy today, and that same mechanism still runs through the Volano range alongside the electric slicers and knives. We're an authorised UK retailer, so every Berkel product we sell is genuine and backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Find out more about Berkel.
