Create a quick, fuss-free and tasty grazing platter with Cathedral City Extra Mature Minis Cheese Snacks.
I love a grazing platter, whether it be with smoked salmon, charcuterie, or cheese; in fact, most of my grazing platters all have that essential component of cheese.
Grazing platters are easy to assemble, look fabulous and offer lots of choice for those who are “grazing” from them, allowing them to pick and choose from what is on offer……essentially giving everyone the chance to graze on what they enjoy.
Today’s post Create a Lunchtime Cheese Grazing Platter has ALL of those elements, as well as being super tasty, quick and easy to prepare, whether it be at the office or at home.
By using the very handy Cathedral City Extra Mature Minis Cheese Snacks, which come in a little net bag, (easy for transporting) you can easily pack all the components up to take to work.
They can also be packed up for a picnic, a “girls’ night In In”, a sports night with friends, or for an easy and convivial family weekend snack, lunch or supper.
Cathedral City Extra Mature Minis Cheese Snacks come in little bags comprising six individually wrapped, bite-sized portions, making them the ideal snack to grab from the fridge to keep you going or for a lunchbox filler.
And, being individually wrapped means you don’t have to open a large block of cheese for an informal lunch, school lunchbox or nighttime snack.

The essential components in today’s post how to create a lunchtime cheese grazing platter, is of course the cheese. Cheese is such a versatile, as well as being a delicious product, and as a cheeseaholic, I eat it almost daily.
