Antipasto, or otherwise known as antipasti, is the traditional starter or first course served in Italian cuisine, which is often dished out in trays or placed on the table. Mostly enjoyed with the appetizer drinks chosen prior to the meal, the traditionally served antipasto consists of cured meats, roasted garlic, marinated vegetables, pepperoni, various cheese etc. Some may even served antipasto with toasted breads and a glass of wine. The traditional topping for antipasto is always olive oil. Truly versatile and quite individual, antipasto dishes and the ingredients involved can suit any one’s palate.
