Dipping Plates and Pour Spouts

How Dipping Plates Serve Olive Oil and Balsamic

Dipping plates hold olive oil and balsamic vinegar side by side so a home cook can dip fresh bread directly at the table. Nelson Olive Oil Co. designs each plate for tasting sessions, appetizer spreads, and casual sharing rather than everyday cooking use. A dipping plate turns a bottle of oil and a bottle of balsamic into a finished presentation without extra dishes on the table.

When to Reach for a Dipping Plate

Bread service before a meal calls for a dipping plate loaded with olive oil and balsamic vinegar together. Appetizer tables benefit from several small plates spread across the surface so guests can taste different products without crowding one bowl. A tasting session at home works the same way a visit to the Nelson Olive Oil Co. tasting room does, letting a cook explore oil and balsamic pairing ideas before committing to a bottle.

Shaped Dipping Plates for Solo Tasting and Gifting

Novelty Shapes Built for Gifting

Grape-Shaped Dipping Plate "Vineyard Select" and Olive-Shaped Dipping & Appetizer Plate "Taste of the Orchard" both echo the fruit that olive oil and balsamic vinegar come from, making them easy conversation pieces at a dinner table. Heart-Shaped Dipping Plate "Sweetheart" suits anniversaries, engagements, or any gift that calls for a romantic touch. Dipping Dish "Yin & Yang" holds two separate pools of oil and vinegar in one plate, keeping the flavours distinct until a diner chooses to mix them together.

Garlic Grater Dipping Plate for Prep and Serving

Garlic Grater Dipping Plate combines a textured grating surface with a built-in well for olive oil or balsamic vinegar. A cook can grate fresh garlic directly onto the plate, then swirl the garlic into the oil before serving it alongside bread or vegetables. This plate suits a cook who wants one tool that handles both prep and presentation, and pairs naturally with garlic-forward dipping recipes.

Multi-Plate Sets for Sharing at the Table

2 Pack Dipping & Appetizer Plates gives a household two matching plates so olive oil and balsamic vinegar can sit in separate spots along a table instead of sharing one dish. Mini Appetizer Boards (Set of 3) "Tasteful Tapas" adds a third board, which suits a larger gathering or a spread that mixes dipping oil with other appetizers like cheese or olives. Both sets let a host place several small stations around a room so guests can taste at their own pace instead of passing one plate down the table.

Reasons to Choose a Multi-Plate Set

• 2 Pack Dipping & Appetizer Plates works well for a two-person household that wants a matching plate for each guest.
• Mini Appetizer Boards (Set of 3) "Tasteful Tapas" suits dinner parties where several appetizers need their own dedicated board.

Savour and Share Comes with Oil and Balsamic Included

2 Dipping Plates with 60ml Oil & Balsamic "Savour & Share" pairs two dipping plates with a 60ml bottle of olive oil and a 60ml bottle of balsamic vinegar, so a cook can start tasting right away. This set removes the extra step of matching plates to bottles already sitting in a kitchen cupboard. Savour & Share works well for a first-time customer who wants to try Nelson Olive Oil Co. products alongside the plates built for serving them, and it makes a ready-made gift similar to items in the wider olive oil and balsamic gift pack collection. New customers who prefer to sample flavours before committing to a set can also request free samples through the website.

Choosing a Dipping Plate and Gift Options

A cook shopping for personal use often picks Garlic Grater Dipping Plate or Dipping Dish "Yin & Yang" for everyday tasting at home. A shopper buying for a wedding or event favour usually leans toward Heart-Shaped Dipping Plate "Sweetheart" or one of the individually shaped novelty plates, since guests can take one home afterward as a keepsake. A host planning a larger party often chooses a multi-plate set like Mini Appetizer Boards (Set of 3) "Tasteful Tapas" so several guests can taste at once. Nelson Olive Oil Co. ships every plate from its 100% Canadian-owned shop in Nelson, BC, with free shipping on orders over $150.
