Are you planning a romantic picnic outdoors (perhaps even at home) or an intimate soiree? Nothing will complement these activities better than a cheese platter or grazing tables. Delicious, easy on the eyes, and usually personally curated, cheese platers and grazing tables make the perfect finger food when having company over or even at home alone on movie night.
But what makes a good cheese platter and grazing table? For one, they’ll have to offer quite a variety of cheeses. They should also be accompanied with savoury meats, crackers and slices of bread, fresh vegetables and fruits, and tangy nibbles like olives and any other marinated items of choice. The only other thing you need for a great time is a glass or two of wine (or juice even), and you’re set!
Here’s highlighting eight small businesses that sell some beautiful and delicious grazing platters online:
1. Bon Bon Box
Bon Bon Box has quite a range of cheese platters for customers: from unique double-decker cheese and floral baskets to their special set, Wine Crate, which includes a bottle of fine champagne. The signature Cheese and Fruit Platter is plated on a reusable bamboo platter, with a beautiful cheese knife included for convenience. It comes in two sizes: 10” and 12”.
Both platters include hard and soft cheese, premium seasonal fruits, crackers, nuts, and pretzels. For the Wine Crate, you can choose a bottle from Bon Bon Box’s list or reach out to the team for wine recommendations to pair with the delicious edible cheeses and fruits.
