One of my favourite things about Christmas (yes, I’ve gone there!), are the cheese boards. Every family gathering is graced with a fabulous cheese board, we all try to out-do each other, of course! Thankfully cheese boards are not just for Christmas, they are absolutely perfect for every occasion, your wedding day included. Today we’re sharing two fabulous Irish businesses who lovingly create towers of cheese and grazing boards for you and your guests.
The Wild Grazer, Kilkenny
A fast growing trend, the wedding cheese cake is created by layering wheels of at least four speciality cheeses. The Wild Grazer works exclusively with local Irish suppliers including Gubbeen, and Cooleeney, and has a range of over 20 cheeses for couples to choose from.
The wedding cheese cakes offering was developed in response to Irish couples’s increasing appetite for bucking traditions in favour of newer alternatives for their big day. The cheese cakes, which come peppered with seasonal produce like figs and passion fruit, provide an Instagramable centerpiece and savory snack that can fuel guest’s dancing into the night.
Led by Kilkeeny-native, Sarah Mc Gree, The Wild Grazer promotes a zero waste philosophy. Events are traditionally big offenders when it comes to food waste, combatting this, The Wild Grazer’s cheese cakes give couples the option to serve any remaining cheese as part of a grazing table or individual grazing cups for day two of the wedding, saving catering costs and significantly reducing wastage.
