What belongs on an Italian buffet

  • Antipasti: marinated vegetables, sun-dried tomatoes, olives
  • Bruschetta & Crostini with assorted toppings
  • Cheese paired with confettüra
  • Salami & Prosciutto
  • Bread, Grissini, Focaccia

Smart prep tips

Much of the work can be done the day before. Vegetables sott’olio straight from the jar save time and look gorgeous in small bowls. Slice cheese and bread only just before serving to keep them at their peak.

Instant show-stoppers

Our aubergines and peppers in olive oil are ready to serve in seconds. For that sweet-savoury twist, spoon fig confettura alongside your cheese board. The Mediterranean Aperitivo Kit delivers five artisanal specialities in one elegant bundle.
