Garlic Grater Dipping Plate

Ways to Use the Garlic Grater Dipping Plate

The Garlic Grater Dipping Plate turns garlic prep into part of the table setting. The raised centre teeth grate garlic straight into the recessed base, so guests can flavour their own dish of extra virgin olive oil without a separate cutting board. Set it out at a dinner party and let people grate their own garlic, ginger, or citrus zest right before dipping their bread.

Building an Oil and Balsamic Dip

Pour extra virgin olive oil into the recessed base, then drizzle balsamic vinegar over top before grating in garlic, shallots, or hard cheese. Crusty bread does double duty here, soaking up the oil while picking up the freshly grated garlic in the same dip. For a sweeter version, swap in grated nutmeg or a little grated chocolate alongside the balsamic. Explore more ideas for pairing oil and balsamic to build out the combination.

What You Can Grate on the Plate

• Garlic cloves grate directly into the oil for an instant flavoured dip.
• Ginger and shallots add a sharper, more savoury edge to the oil.
• Nutmeg, nuts, and chocolate work for a dessert-style dipping plate.
• Hard cheeses grate finely enough to soften slightly into warm oil.
• Fruits, vegetables, and citrus fruits can be grated or zested for a fresh finish.

Who the Garlic Grater Dipping Plate Suits, and Gifting Ideas

This plate suits home cooks who like to entertain and want a hands-on appetizer that guests build themselves. At 5.3 inches across, it is sized for sharing a single dip rather than serving a full table, so it works best as one of several small plates set out for a gathering.

It arrives packaged as a favour, in an "Aglio e Olio" themed clear covered gift box with a title banner, tied with natural coloured raffia ribbon and bow, and finished with a "For You" gift tag. That makes it a ready-to-give option for wedding and event favours, as well as family gatherings and other special occasions. The same packaging suits corporate gifting for anyone who wants a food-focused gift with no assembly required.
