We feel you, and we have good news for you because you can totally satisfy those cheese platter cravings right here in Singapore from the comfort of your air-conditioned couch.
Also known as charcuterie boards (which literally translates to “cooked meat” boards) – these cheese platters have transformed over the years to become gorgeous and sometimes extravagant boards arranged with an array of artisanal cheeses, cured meats, crackers, bread, dried and fruit, nuts, dips, and other accompanying tidbits like olives and pickles.
And with no lack of options for doorstep deliveries these days, here are some of the most amazing artisanal cheese and cured meat platters for you to graze your days away.
11 cheese platters that absolutely anybody can enjoy
1. Cheeselads

If you’re new to cheese platters, do try their Chloe/Truffle Brie platter, a platter named for the two Chloes who put it together (founder Chloe Lee and content creator Chloe Choo, if you’re curious). Assembled with ingredients that are made in-house, it comes highly recommended – it includes Cheeseland’s signature fragrant Truffle Brie accompanied by delicious soft and chewy nougats.

Under their array of unique offerings, one of the items you should definitely check out is their meat-free cheese platter. You read that right! They offer a cheese platter that can be enjoyed by anyone.
The cheese platter comes in a sweet pink gift box with a ribbon and a complimentary gift card, and it features all sorts of delicious fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, figs, cherry tomatoes, and olives.

And of course, just like every cheese platter, it comes with a sizeable portion of triple creme cheese that is enough to satisfy all of your cheese cravings.
The cheese platter is carefully arranged by their in-house artisans to ensure that every gift box provides an amazing experience from the unboxing to the tasting of treats.
Suitable for two to three people, the Grazing Fruits Cheese Platter is the perfect addition to your lunch or dinner. If you’re feeling a little peckish after lunch, you can also have the platter as a light snack between meals! Filled with mostly fruits, it’s definitely going to be healthier than snacking on chips.

This halal cheese box store touts itself as proudly homegrown with a Singapore twist, and we are sold. We spied their one-of-a-kind cili padi cheese and their signature Brie Brulee in all their cheese grazing boxes – the thought of which, we have to say, excites us enormously.
Another thing that we really look forward to? Their eye-catching selection of dips with flavours we Singaporeans know and love, like Salted Caramel Kaya and Chili Pomegranate Yoghurt.
The Chatter Platter is really aptly named in our opinion because we will certainly be chattering about their platters long after they’re in our happy tummies. Totally drool-worthy, we say.
