Why Melbourne Loves Our Latin American Grazing Platters
Not Your Average Grazing Board
Skip the predictable deli platter. Our grazing boards feature handmade empanadas, crispy tequenos (Venezuelan cheese sticks), queso fresco, chimichurri, guacamole, and crunchy plantain chips — Latin American flavours perfected over 50 years of family tradition.
Naturally Gluten-Free
Everything on the platter except the tequenos is naturally free from gluten: corn-based doughs, rice crackers, fresh dips and real cheese. Tequenos are made with wheat, and we leave them off on request.
Perfect for Any Event Size
From intimate dinner parties of 10 to grand corporate grazing tables for 500 guests. Weddings, cocktail hours, engagement parties, product launches, team celebrations — we scale our grazing platters to match your event.
Fresh, Never Mass-Produced
Every empanada is hand-shaped, every dip made from scratch in our Port Melbourne commercial kitchen. We don't do pre-packaged or frozen. Your grazing platter arrives fresh, beautifully arranged, and ready to impress.

Grazing Platter Highlights
Empanadas
Golden, baked corn-dough parcels filled with seasoned beef or black beans. Handheld, mess-free, and the centrepiece of any grazing board.
Tequenos
Crispy Venezuelan cheese sticks — our most-requested grazing item. Light corn dough wrapped around melted cheese. Addictively good.
Queso Fresco & Manchego
Fresh Latin American cheese paired with aged manchego. Creamy, crumbly, and perfectly complementing the bold dips and bites.
Chimichurri & Guacamole
House-made chimichurri with fresh herbs and garlic, plus creamy guacamole. Two dips that elevate every item on the board.
Plantain Chips
Thinly sliced, lightly salted plantain chips — the perfect vessel for our dips. A crunchy, naturally gluten-free alternative to bread.
Dulce de Leche
Rich, caramelised milk dipping sauce. The sweet element that balances the savoury — pairs brilliantly with fruit and cheese.
