  • I thought block cheese was cheaper

    I legit thought block cheese was cheaper than slices. I’d brought cheese slicing boards, dodlackys and other magical devices to make my life easier so I could say I used block cheese in my child’s lunch (and secretly high-five myself while eating stashed chocolate behind the pantry door)…but who am I kidding! 1/2 the time the cheese went mouldy and my husband brought processed and shiny cheese singles. Well my family was presently surprised to discover thinly sliced actual cheese on their sandwiches! My oldest child’s comment was something more akin to ‘finally’ while my cheese covered youngest hungrily ate her sandwich while putting her doll to bed (also covered in cheese)! Husband…I’m not sure he could see or taste much under the river of bbq sauce…but I did score a ‘thanks love, that was nice’. So I’m off to high-five the next random woolies employee I happen across!

  • Very delicious quality products

    Our family loved the cheese and cracker snacks and the cheese slices the most. We tried the cheese sticks and enjoyed them however not quite as much as another brand we regular purchase.
    Would recommend all of the products though. They are tasty, quality and very affordable compared to other brands.
    Will purchase regularly now.

  • Kids love these in their lunchbox

    My kids have absolutely loved these in their lunchboxes. The cheese sticks are easily opened and taste great and a hit even for a sneaky snack. The cheese and crackers was another hit and loved by all and now a favourite for lunch. The tasty cheese slices are great and fit perfectly in the sandwiches. We love all of these products and the best thing is they taste great and are affordable for every day lunches and it makes those busy school mornings so much easier for healthy, readily available snacks. These will now be a permanent snack in our lunch boxes.

  • Cheese Slices, Cheese & Crackers and Cheese Sticks

    Awesome products, my eldest loves the cheese sticks, so good that they are real cheese and not the plastic stuff, she has asked for them in her lunch box each day since we bought them. She also loved the crackers, they were easy to open and the biscuits were crunchy. The cheese slices make sandwich making so easy and are very tasty. Highly recommend all three of these products, thanks for the opportunity to trial them!!

  • Not just for kids

    These are a great snnack for kids lunch boxes as they are easy, nutritious and perfect snack size, but I some times take one with me if I’m on the go and need a snack so rather than going for a biscuit or packet of chips I will had a good calcium snack. They taste great and store well in the fridge. I buy these regularly to fill the. Gaps!

  • My friends in the fridge

    We always have a packet of the natural cheese sticks in the fridge alongside cheese slices. The sticks make a great, quick, easy and healthy snack for the kids and the slices are perfect for a quick vegemite and cheese sandwich or toasted cheese and ham sandwich – favourite lunches and snacks of my kids. Great products!

    Woolworths cheese slices and cheese and crackers are great for school lunches or an after school snack. Love that it is quick and easy and the kids don’t have to cut the pre sliced cheese.

  • No more lunch shaming

    OMG! The stress of school lunches! I am paranoid I’m going to be that mum who gets lunch shamed. I’m always happy if I have some combination of dairy and protein! I think this is a winner. Cheese stick we’re eaten before I could pack them…but why-oh-why do the cheese and biscuits not come in packs of more than 1? Pleaseeeee

  • Woolies Tasty Cheese and Crackers makes my son say ‘Cheese!’

    My children loves it! Particularly my eldest! So now we buy the lot when at Woolies. He says “It’s yummier’ than Le snak”. According to him, it’s because Woolworths Tasty Cheese and crackers’ cheese are not sticky and melting but ‘real cheese’ and the crackers are nice to munch on”! I personally, love it because it’s sold individually in a small pack and is convenient for lunch boxes when you’re time poor.

    Great tasting products – very convient for on the run and out and about. A little pricey for us as a normal buy each week but good as an occasional treat. Loved that the cheese sticks weren’t that cheap processed cheese and featured tasty cheese instead. The crackers were also great – not over the top nice and simple

  • Cheese & Crackers better than Maccas.

    Love how transportable the cheese & crackers and cheese sticks are. Grab and go snacks are my go to, in a bag along with grapes and bananas and we are good to go. Great for car trips, no sticky messes and sugar highs.

  • Great, tasty snack!

    My family trialled the Woolworths Cheese Slices, Cheese & Crackers and Cheese Sticks and they were enjoyed by all. Whilst I wasn’t a fan of the cheese sticks, my children (5,7 and 9) all liked them and was a frequent request for the lunchbox – very convenient to just chuck in the lunchbox for a quick dairy snack! My husband tried the cheese and crackers, he said that the crackers were good but that the cheese could have been better – I didn’t get to sample as he had finished the lot so they mustn’t have been that bad, haha. The favourite out of all them was the cheese slices. They had the convenience of being pre sliced but still tasted like “real cheese” unlike other cheese slices we have tried. They also came in a convenient container which kept them fresh. We used them on sandwiches, melted on burgers (very tasty this way!), and also just as a quick snack.

  • Slice of perfection

    I love the Woolworths cheese slice, they are easy, practical and delicious.
    I really appreciated that the bulk pack was divided into three individual packs saving on waste by keeping the cheese fresh.
    The slices are the perfect size for sandwiches and it melts to perfection when toasted.
    I highly recommend them for busy mums

  • That's a cracker

    The woolworths cheese and crackers were a hit, not just with us as they were almost sold out when I purchased them
    They were a great handy snack for lunch on the go.
    The cheese is moreish and you can’t go past crackers when snacking on cheese.
    We’ll definitely be buying these again.

  • Cheese if you please

    The cheese sticks were a hit. we loved that they were not only delicious and nutritious, but practical and easy to tuck away in a lunch box.
    They were easy to peel open and had a mild flavour that was moreish and gentle on the tummy.
    I’d definitely buy them again as a staple for the lunchboxes.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen 🙂

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
