Grazing Board

BBD: 19/04/2026 Sweet, thin-skinned baby figs. Naturally dried. A nutritious snack or the perfect addition to a cheeseboard.  Sweet, fragrant and flavourful, Pajarero figs are grown and naturally dried in Extremadura. They are ideal for the health conscious, being high in fibre, iron, potassium and calcium.

Concentrated sweetness. Rich grape varietal, intensified by sun-drying. Artisan drying & selection. ‘Pasas de Málaga (moscatel raisins) are under the protected designation of origin (PDO) of Málaga, which guarantees their quality and traditional production. Traditionally sun-dried moscatel grapes from Axarquía in Málaga, Spain. This is an autumnal product produced for the Christmas market, and traditionally served with a cheese board.

Acorn-rich, smoky. Lean shoulder meat, coarsely chopped. Generous flavour, slice and impact. Freshly sliced in our Balham Deli. This is a regional variant of the chorizo made using large pieces of acorn fed ibérico meat from the Dehesas of Extremadura, SW Spain. It is made with large pieces of lean meat, combined with sufficient fat to give it a pleasing texture, and seasoned with mild smoked paprika. The flavour is rich, nutty and intense with a pleasing note of warm smokiness. *Vacuum-packed

The Brindisa bellota shoulder (paleta) is made from pigs of 75% Ibérico breed that have fattened up on acorns on the dehesa of Extremadura for 10-12 weeks at the end of their lives. Expertly cured in Guijuelo, Salamanca for 2 years. Freshly sliced in our Balham Deli. The shoulder (paleta) has more fat than the back leg, giving a remarkable richness to the meat. Sweet, savoury and nutty, it has a lingering aftertaste, intensified by the abundant acorn rich fat. Ideal for sandwiches with crusty bread or pan de coca, tomato and extra virgin olive oil.  For best results, remove from fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. *Please be aware that, depending upon which part of the ham your pack has been carved from, the proportion of delicious acorn fat to lean meat will vary. **Vacuum-packed

Rich, earthy, hint of bitterness. Cut off top, scoop and share like a Vacherin. Traditional Torta. Winner: Silver at the World Cheese Awards 2023 There is a tradition in south-west Spain, and over the border in Portugal, of making ewes' milk cheeses using cardoon thistle rennet, resulting in  full-bodied cheeses with a soft, sometimes liquid interior. Queserías de Barros makes an excellent example using the milk of the indigenous Merino sheep. The cheese has an earthy aroma and the soft paste is creamy, rich, salty and full flavoured with a hint of bitterness on the finish. Leave it out of the fridge at least for an hour before eating to warm up and enjoy the gooey centre with breadsticks or crudités.  To learn more about this incredible cheese, watch the video here.

One of the commonest accompaniments to cheese, ham and charcuterie in many Spanish bars and restaurants is the simple breadstick, often made using olive oil. The shape may vary, but they all provide a textural contrast to the meats or cheeses. These little pointed breadsticks are crisp and crunchy.

Sweet dominates savoury. Earthy, grassy, toasted nuts. Pigs forage in woodlands. The King of hams. Freshly hand-carved by a master carver in our Balham Deli. The Eíriz bellota ham is made from free range pigs of 100% Ibérico breed that have fattened up on acorns on the dehesa of Extremadura for 10-12 weeks. The hams are then expertly cured in Jabugo in Huelva, one of the most famous Ibérico ham curing towns in Spain.  This ham has been cured for 3 years to create intense, complex flavours and aromas. Jamones Eiriz have been producing Ibérico hams in the town of Corteconcepción, situated in the mountains of the Sierra de Aracena, north of Seville, since near the beginning of the 19th century. Their artisan production methods keep things as traditional as possible and create some remarkable hams. For best results, remove from fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. How to enjoy: Place the slices on a warm plate for the fat to melt slightly. Eat the slices with pan de coca Catalan bread or picos de pan. *Please be aware that, depending upon which part of the ham your pack has been carved from, the proportion of delicious acorn fat to lean meat will vary. **Vacuum-packed

Tortas Gaviño have been making our olive oil biscuits for years and we recently decided to switch to their branding. The packaging may have changed but the biscuits are exactly the same taste and quality. The olive oil torta, a flat, unleavened biscuit, was first invented several hundred years ago to provide an easily portable snack for stagecoach passengers passing through the city of Seville. Now made in several different flavours, the biscuit with rosemary is herby, crisp and flaky and is excellent eaten with cheese. Contains 6 tortas per pack

These baby sized gherkins or pepinillos are marinated in vinegar with mustard seeds, silverskin onions and black peppercorns. The perfect accompaniment to our ranges of cheeses, charcuterie and pates. Small and crunchy, they marry perfectly with pate, strong cheeses such as Manchego and cured meats. They also form a key ingredient in tartare sauce.

Bakeries in Galicia have long made products that would last on board ships. Dried biscuits containing very little water were amongst the foods which were taken on most voyages. These traditional biscuits are still made, but now primarily to taste good. The butter in the recipe gives a lovely richness to the crisp biscuit.
