We select materials that combine aesthetics, strength and sustainability to meet the needs of restaurants, catering services, hotels, corporate events and private celebrations.

Why choose tasting spoons for your service

Tasting spoons are essential for presenting canapés, tapas, mini desserts and sauces with the utmost care. Beyond their aesthetic value, they offer comfort for diners, consistency in portions and speed of service during busy periods.

Gourmet presentation: every dish looks better in a tasting spoon designed for the purpose.
Hygiene and practicality: individual portions that are easy to serve and eat.
Versatility: suitable for cold, warm and—depending on the material—hot preparations.
Wide variety: options in rigid plastic, porcelain, melamine, bamboo, bagasse and stainless steel.
Sustainability: biodegradable and compostable alternatives for responsible events.

If you work with high volumes, you can combine disposable tasting spoons with reusable models, optimising costs and reducing waste. For premium catering, porcelain appetiser spoons or stainless steel deliver a flawless set-up.

How to choose and buy your appetiser spoons

Define the main use: one-bite canapés, sauces, mini desserts or hot tastings.
Select the material: eco disposable (bamboo or bagasse), reusable (PS, melamine) or premium (porcelain, stainless steel).
Consider the size: mini spoons of 10–12 cm usually offer the best balance between capacity and elegance.
Plan the volume: large packs for events and efficient restocking for hospitality.
Keep the style consistent: combine canapé spoons with trays and skewers from the same range.

In addition to the classic appetiser spoons and tasting spoons, many customers also look for specific options such as plastic tasting spoons, porcelain spoons, mini appetiser spoons, plastic canapé spoons or disposable catering spoons. In our catalogue you will find all these alternatives in various materials — bamboo, bagasse, melamine, stainless steel, porcelain and reusable plastic (PS) — always with fast delivery and professional advice so you can choose the solution that best suits your service or event.
