Vitto Chef’s Testing Needle - O-Clip

Created in collaboration with Chef Vittorio De Palma, the Vitto Chef’s Testing Needle - O Clip brings a chef-led approach to one of the professional kitchen’s most trusted tools. Developed from a concept put forward by Vittorio, every detail has been considered around the way chefs work through service. As Head Chef at Michelin-starred Luca’s in Florence, Vittorio brings the experience and instinct of the professional kitchen directly into the design. Crafted entirely from stainless steel, the ultra-fine testing needle slides smoothly from its protective barrel when needed and stores neatly back inside when not in use, keeping the point safely concealed. This version features a distinctive wide O-shaped clip, designed to sit securely on an apron or pocket while giving the needle a clean, recognisable profile. Its fine tip allows chefs to test temperature and doneness by touch with minimal disturbance to meat, fish, bread and cake. Simple, precise and built for daily use, the Vitto Chef’s Testing Needle O-Clip is a dependable tool for chefs who rely on touch, instinct and consistency in the kitchen.
