Make Entertaining Easier with Charlie & Ivy's Bread Dippers

As the festive season nears, it’s the perfect time to get together friends and family for warm gatherings filled with delicious food and cheer. One way to impress your guests is with a selection of bread dipping oils, adding a touch of style to your gatherings, and we’ve brought together three creative ways to elevate your entertaining game.



Create a Casual Bread Dipping Bar


Make the perfect start to a casual get together by setting up a bread dipping oil bar. Guests popping around for festive drinks elevated!

Presentation matters when keeping it simple. Use small, decorative and rustic bowls for each oil and arrange them on a wooden board. Accompany with a selection of fresh breads—think artisan sourdough, baguettes and ciabatta.




Incorporate Bread Dipping Oils into a Charcuterie Board


Elevate your charcuterie board by adding small bowls of bread dipping oils alongside cured meats, cheeses, and seasonal fruits. The oils serve as a flavourful complement to the board, inviting guests to dip their bread whilst enjoying the other delights.

We enjoy figs, walnuts, olives on our festive boards, and always decorate the table beautifully with greenery – whether that’s fresh herbs or evergreen foliage from the garden. Add a candle or two for the perfect ambience.




Host A Tasting Party


Make your gathering even more memorable by hosting a bread dipping oil tasting party. Offer a selection of different oils, each with unique flavours, our Bread Dipper Tasting Set of seven unique flavours, is perfect for this, and provide guests with a variety of bread options – keep it simple so they can fully taste the flavour of each oil.

Get your guests to fully get involved in the act of dipping, tasting and guessing flavours, creating an interactive atmosphere, sparking conversation and enjoyment that will be remembered.




This festive season, let Charlie & Ivy’s bread dipping oils be the star of your entertaining. With their delicious flavours and the simple preparation, they are sure to impress your guests and create lasting memories. Gather your friends and family, and indulge in the experience of dipping bread. Simple.
