Bali Deli
A long-standing go-to for Bali’s expat community and frequent travellers for their cold meats selection, dips, olives, crackers and cheese. This one-stop shop is moderately priced and thus we recommend visiting Bali Deli if you are looking to pick up some imported products to complete your cheese platter.
Canggu Station
Just moments from Finns Recreation Club doorstep, and almost impossible to drive past without paying a visit for their apple crumble. We suggest visiting this upscale grocery store for their yummy selection of cheeses, a specialised meat counter with a great variety of pre-cut and freshly sliced meats, as well as their fresh fruit and vegetable produce. We can’t recommend Canggu Station enough as they consistently stock imported goods that are familiar to home as well as bake fresh baguettes daily. You can’t go wrong in creating a picture worthy cheese platter all sourced from Canggu Station.
Bintang Supermarket
Well-known grocery stores located in Seminyak and Ubud for both tourists and expats alike that want to pick up some fresh fruit, snacks and bottle of vodka to enjoy during your stay. We recommend checking out their cold meats selection as well as an array of cheeses that have been sourced both locally and imported from Australia. Popular amongst Australian tourists for their familiar selection of crackers, olives, semi-sundried tomatoes and cheeses.
For a basic cheese platter we suggest the following:
- Deli Olives = IDR 45,000
- Jats Crackers = IDR 35,000
- Cheddar Cheese = IDR 60,000
- Australian Gold Brie Cheese = IDR 85,000
- Fantastic brand Rice Crackers = IDR 22,000
Pepito Supermarket
You can’t go wrong with your local Pepito Supermarket as they stock your basic crackers, a small selection of meats, range of olives and variety of cheese. We suggest also paying a visit to their fresh fruit and vegetable section as a nice cool additive to your cheese platter condiments. They do also stock a small range of chutneys, jams and quince paste that would complement the platter nicely. This store is moderately priced as you will have to pay that little bit more for the fresh food and imported products.
Alive Wholefoods Store Bali
For organic whole-foods and grocery items, we like to frequent Alive Wholefoods Store Bali. Their fresh, locally sourced organic and imported meats, vegan-friendly crackers and snacks, and selection of cheeses make for a typical Canggu hipster platter. You can find them just 2-minutes from Echo Beach on Jalan Padang Linjong or send them a message for delivery to your villa.
Island Graze
If you like the sound of a cheese platter or grazing board but are on holidays and want it to just magically appear in your villa. Our trusty go-to is Island Graze as they make platters, cheese boards and grazing tables of any size at a reasonable price. For an additional IDR 300,000 they will even have it floating in the pool for you on one of their floating trays.
