A grazing platter is a style of dining presentation wherein a board is filled with room temperature-friendly finger food. Think of it as an exquisite food tasting. It’s casual, but it entails an elaborate presentation to entice all your guests. It does not involve the usual dining table etiquette with all the different kinds of forks, spoons, and knives. Still, it suits small, intimate gatherings and even corporate events and high-end celebrations.
One of the most notable appeals of a grazing board or platter is it is a form of art. You can also add savoury or sweet foods, depending on your taste. Some of the typical food staples in a traditional grazing feast include cheeses of varying textures, fruits like berries, strawberries and grape, and cured meats like salami and prosciutto.
Why is it called a grazing platter?
It’s a large tray or board that is loaded with small bites. Because neither cheese nor charcuterie are the dominant components of the platter, I feel it’s more fitting to call this cornucopia of small bites a “grazing platter” or a “grazing board” instead.
