The Market - Inspired Grazing Board That Steals the Show

|

Nov 17

Whether you’re hosting a crowd or treating yourself to a mid-week moment, a grazing board is the perfect solution. Done right, it’s anything but basic - think colour, crunch and fresh, seasonal flavour. For a modern, market-inspired spin, skip the usual charcuterie and style your board with sun-ripened tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, quick pickles and bunches of herbs. As beautiful as it is delicious, this is the kind of grazing platter guests won’t stop talking about.

Rewrite the Rules

Skip the sliced meats and cheese wedges and let fresh produce take the spotlight. Build your board around seasonal Vegetables and garden Herbs for something that looks (and tastes) fresh off the farm. Think juicy Heirloom Tomatoes, Cucumber ribbons, Radish slices, edible flowers and even tinned fish like Salmon or Sardines for a salty, savoury note.

 

Add texture with seeded crackers, roasted nuts or crusty baguette slices. Layer in a soft cheese like Burrata, Ricotta or Goat’s Cheese to spread or dip. Then style with intention: colour-block your ingredients, cluster complementary textures and leave room to breathe. A little restraint makes everything feel more elegant.

Pick the Pickles

Homemade pickles add instant character to a board. And the best part? They’re so easy to make.

  • Slice a Cucumber into thin ribbons and place them into a bowl.
  • In a saucepan, combine 1 cup Vinegar, 1 cup Water, 1 tablespoon Sugar, 1 tablespoon Salt and your choice of aromatics (like Dill, Garlic, Mustard Seeds or Pepper all taste great).
  • Bring to a simmer and pour over the Cucumbers.
  • Pour into a glass jar and let them sit for 30 minutes (or longer in the fridge) before serving.

Just Add Fragrance

Just like the perfect grazing board, our new FARM collection is a celebration of simplicity, seasonality and the beauty of fresh ingredients. Inspired by produce picked at its peak, these fragrances
bring the feel of a farmer’s market into your home everyday.

Try Tomato & Basil for a vibrant, leafy scent that gives instant sunshine, or Cucumber & Dill for a cooling, dewy fragrance that feels unconventional and moreish. Each of the FARM scents is available in a 300mL candle, housed in our signature ceramic vessel, as well as a 250mL Fragrance Diffuser for an always-on scent you don’t need to light to
enjoy.
