Antipasti and tagliere: how an Italian meal begins
In short: antipasto means "before the meal": the starter that whets the appetite. A tagliere is a chopping board loaded with cured meats, cheeses and vegetables to share. It is the Italian way to start an evening at an easy pace.
What are classic antipasti?
- Cured meats (salumi): Parma ham, mortadella, salami
- Fresh cheeses: mozzarella, burrata
- Marinated vegetables, olives, bruschetta
- Raw or lightly prepared dishes, such as carpaccio
