Grazing Boxes
A rustic Italian spread built for a long table and a slow evening. Cured meats, four cheeses, freshly baked ciabatta, and the sharp, sweet, pickled things that make the rest of it work.
Arranged in our own kitchen on the morning it goes out and delivered across Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton and Rosebank. Order before 09:00 and it arrives the same day. Order after that and we deliver the next day.
This is the platter we get asked about most, and it is the one we are proudest of. Four cured meats and four cheeses is more range than most spreads carry, and the halloumi wrapped in streaky bacon is the item people go back for twice.
Everything is arranged by hand on the morning it leaves the kitchen. Nothing is made up in advance and nothing sits overnight.
It suits the evenings where you want the food handled but you do not want it to look handled. Put one platter down in the middle of the table, open a bottle, and the evening runs itself.
Your platter arrives ready to serve, so there is nothing to arrange. Keep it refrigerated and covered until about 30 minutes before your guests arrive, then bring it out so the cheese and the cured meats come up to temperature. Gorgonzola and camembert taste like a different thing warm than they do straight from the fridge.
It is at its best on the day it arrives. Feeding more than 8? Order one platter per 8 people, and for 24 guests or more a grazing table set up on site usually works out better.
Most people add a sweet platter to the same order. It covers the back half of an evening without anyone having to go and find dessert.
Pavlova cups with mascarpone and summer berries, brownie and strawberry kebabs, lemon meringue cakes, cupcakes and danishes.
See what is insideThe relaxed version of the Italiano, with a South African accent. Four cheeses alongside beef biltong, droewors, figs and olives.
See what is insideA full meat free spread rather than a side plate. Order it alongside the Italiano when the table has mixed diets.
See what is insideEight. Every Magies Vol platter is built for 8 people and there is no smaller or larger version, so you always know exactly what you are getting. For 16 people order two, and for 24 guests or more a grazing table set up on site usually works out better.
Yes, if you order before 09:00. Anything ordered before 09:00 is delivered the same day across Fourways, Bryanston, Sandton and Rosebank. Orders placed after 09:00 are delivered the next day, because every platter is arranged fresh on the morning it goes out.
Yes. The parma ham, the mortadella, the Italian salami, the prosciutto on the caprese kebabs and the streaky bacon around the halloumi are all pork. If you need a spread without it, the Vegetarian Charcuterie Box is fully meat free, and we can build something to suit on request. Tell us when you order.
The Italiano is built around cured meats, so rather than stripping it back we would point you to the Vegetarian Charcuterie Box, which is a full spread in its own right. Many hosts order one of each when the table has mixed diets. Let us know about any allergies at the same time.
It arrives ready to serve and is at its best on the day. Keep it refrigerated and covered, then bring it out about 30 minutes before your guests so the cheese and cured meats come up to temperature. Anything left over should go back into the fridge and be eaten the next day.
