The wooden serving board tells delicious stories when sharing
There we sit comfortably together, the serving board in the middle, covered with lots of little delicacies. And while we eat, I notice: every board tells a story. Not just about what is on it, but also about how it is used in other countries. Wood connects cultures, brings people to the table and turns the simple into something special. Let's hear a few board stories - just like that, while we grab a piece of cheese or break a piece of bread.
In Italy , a wooden board is an integral part of everyday life 🇮🇹🍷. Especially when antipasti are served. A piece of prosciutto, a bit of pecorino, olives and maybe a crispy ciabatta - everything is arranged loosely on a rustic board. And it's not just food, it's a way of life. The board stands for family, for friends, for warm summer evenings with a glass of wine. It's never perfect, but always honest.
Then there's Japan 🇯🇵🍣. Here, a board becomes a stage. Especially when sushi is served. Each piece is placed with precision, often on light wood, which is antibacterial and makes the colors of the food appear even brighter. It's almost meditative how the Japanese present their dishes. And I think there's something calming about this simplicity. A board, a few pieces of sushi, maybe a little ginger - and suddenly everything feels lighter.
It's completely different in Scandinavia 🇸🇪☕. There, the board is part of the coziness. They call it hygge - this feeling of warmth and calm. A piece of freshly baked bread with jam in the morning, a cinnamon roll moment in the afternoon, all lovingly arranged on a wooden board. Add candles, a hot coffee, and everyday life slows down a bit. I think we should treat ourselves to that more often.
And then the colors and scents from Morocco 🇲🇦🌶️. The board becomes the centerpiece of a small celebration. Flatbread, dates, a few bowls of hummus and harissa - everything arranged like a small work of art. Wood goes perfectly with it, it underlines the warmth and sensuality of the food. I like the liveliness that such an oriental board radiates. It's almost as if the wood is telling the stories of the spices.
The French 🇫🇷🧀, on the other hand, have their very own way of using a board. For them, it is the stage for cheese. Whether Brie, Camembert or Roquefort, everything is arranged in order - from mild to strong. Add a baguette, a glass of red wine and you have the French way of life. And the best part? You actually eat the cheese in a certain order to really enjoy the flavors. It's a bit like a little ritual, don't you think?
Wood is different everywhere, and yet somehow the same. It is warm, it tells stories, it brings people together. Whether antipasti, sushi or an oriental breakfast - a wooden board is not only practical, it is a small moment of connection. Maybe your board will become part of a story. Or better said: part of your board stories
