Charcuterie and 'Bark'uterie

We are long time fans of a good charcuterie board but it didn't seem fair that our favourite furry friends were missing out... so, we've rounded up our favourite Australian pet snack brands shipping nationwide so you can construct a pup-friendly 'bark'uterie board! These brands are baking up healthy dog snacks — ideal for plating up a snack board for your pup! (Don't be mistaken though, some of these dog snacks look good enough for a human to eat!) Of course we haven't forgotten our pup-parents, we've gathered some of our favourite local Melbourne specialty cheese shops and grocers so both you and your pup can graze all weekend!

 

For the two legged kind...

Maker and Monger

For the cheese connoisseurs, Maker and Monger is the place to be! (Or at least the place to order your charcuterie deliveries from for now.) This South Yarra specialty cheese shop is home to some of the most beautiful local and international cheeses — not to mention their kitchen's seasonal menu of gourmet cheese toasties and flavourful dishes made with fresh produce from the nearby Prahran Market.

Milk the Cow

Milk the Cow is a one-stop shop for all of your cheese needs. This fromagerie has every cheese you could ever dream of, so they've taken the guesswork out of putting together your charcuterie board. Order a cheese hamper or a cheese and booze hamper for a perfectly paired curation of cheeses, wine and sides.

Harper and Blohm

Harper and Blohm is an artisanal cheese shop and kitchen serving up everything you would need for a relaxing night in. This includes cheese, meats, wine, spirits, larder essentials, biscuits and more. Some good new for those of you who live within 5km of Harper and Blohm — their cafe is open for takeaway orders this weekend and their toasties are mouth-wateringly good.
