Late afternoon, a board on the kitchen counter or out on the stoep, somebody slicing biltong, somebody else opening the olive oil. The Sundowner's Board is built around that ritual. The Funky Ouma olive oil is cold-extracted from olives grown in the Western Cape. The Willow Creek balsamic comes from a Nuy Valley estate that ages its vinegars in oak. The biltong is South African dry-cured beef. The Camembert is the international shorthand for \"this is a real cheeseboard.\" Together, they make a gift that is recognisably Cape, recognisably hosted, and recognisably masculine without being heavy-handed about it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho To Send The Sundowner's Board To\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis board has earned its keep across our most-asked-for gifting moments.
