Picnics are very dear to most of us, reminiscent of carefree days. Every year June 18 is observed as International Picnic Day to promote the joy of having a nice meal outdoors. Even though we might have not been able to squeeze in many pleasant outdoor meals with friends and family this past year, we can improvise to keep the spirit alive. On International Picnic Day, we have curated a list of picnic essentials, so you can have a picnic anytime and anywhere.
Artisanal Cheese
A micro-creamery making European-inspired classics, Eleftheria Cheese makes preservative-free artisanal cheese. While the hand-stretched Cows Milk Mozzarella (INR 350) has a delicate soft texture, the Fromage Blanc (INR 300) available in multiple flavours is the scene stealer. Garlic and Parsley, Dried Herbs and EVOO, and Chives and Pepper are three distinct flavour profiles and can be paired with a variety of breads.

Kombucha, ginger ale, and coconut kefir

Their most exciting flavours include Hibiscus Lime (INR 240), Beetroot Pomegranate (INR 240), Smokey Oolong (INR 240), and Mango Turmeric (INR 240). If you prefer to keep it simple, The Rose with Basil Seeds Ginger Ale (INR 160) is pretty refreshing and so is their signature Coconut Kefir (INR 240).
