    • Charcuterie Boards – PRICE INCLUDES PERSONALISED ENGRAVING Zawadi charcuterie boards are made with Blackwood (Acacia), which is considered an alien species in South Africa. Due to its hardness, it is widely used in the manufacture of furniture and most suitable for cheese and charcuterie boards, as it is also non-porous. The boards have been treated with FDA approved mineral oil, imported from the USA. Zawadi personalises the boards, by engraving on the stainless steel disc your name and logo/picture. The disc is then permanently attached into a shallow recess on the board. Please contact us to arrange for personalised engraving.

Own your style with these original designs in our growing collection that adds interest and sparkle to your interiors, bringing light and life into those special spaces. These ancient ethnic themes have been traditionally carved from indigenous hardwoods, which are under increasing threat of depletion due to the continued demand for our dwindling natural resources. Instead, Zawadi have transformed age-old traditions into exciting new renditions, using sustainable alternatives by choosing contemporary and eco-friendly aluminium and ostrich eggshell detailing for our collection.
