Cheese and charcuterie platters were all the rage during the last year’s Circuit Breaker. Pandemic or not, they are compact, easy on the eye, and can even double up as a full meal. Cheese, cold cuts, crackers, fruits, nuts, chocolates — the possibilities are endless. There’s something for everyone in the wondrous world of cheese platters.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable gift idea, going on a (safe and socially distanced) picnic, or seeking an indulgent afternoon treat, these cheese platter delivery options are perfect for you to nibble on alongside a glass of wine.

Cheeselads

The classy cheese platters from Cheeselads are graced with artisanal cheeses and house-made accompaniments. Head straight for the Petite Platter ($48) or Standard Platter ($89), which comes with the option to add on $10 for truffle brie — we hear it’s a real standout. As for the Burrata Parma Bowl ($48), you don’t have to be a connoisseur of Italian cuisine to appreciate it. The pairing of creamy burrata and salty-sweet prosciutto di parma is, in my opinion, unrivalled.

You can also order chewy nougats ($8) in assorted flavours including matcha, cookies & cream, and strawberry cheesecake.

LPB Market

Although LPB Market (formerly La Petite Boutique) is better known as a fine foods grocery store specialising in European cheeses, meats, and wines, their selection of traditional cheese platters is not one to be overlooked. Some of us may be unfamiliar with the types of cheese and charcuterie offered but it is a good opportunity to try something new.

Prefer a cheese or charcuterie-only platter?  They’ve got you covered with Pop The Box platters ($89) and Surprise Me! platters ($98). The more carnivorous of the lot will love the massive Meat Lovers Platter ($148), an array of French, Italian, and Spanish charcuterie served alongside hummus, olives, and tapenade.
