A foodie work of art, a good grazing board is also a culinary treasure trove of symbiotic snacks, but how exactly does it differ from a cheese board?
Kowalski’s Culinary Director Rachael Perron is back with the KARE 11 Saturday team in studio to explain what defines a grazing board and show us how to make them.

Grazing boards often but not always include cheese, as well as traditional cheese board accompaniments but not all grazing boards actually include cheese.
Another key feature of the grazing board is the inclusion of dips and spreads
Like cheese boards, the foods on a grazing board are no-cook and ready to eat, but a differentiation factor in a grazing board is often bite-size or individual portions – no cheese knives needed.
Delicious and fun foods, including sweet and salty snack foods not often found on a traditional cheese platter, like mini pastries, cookies, potato chips, pretzels and candy, are also increasingly common.
