What does
Antipasto Mean?
The literal translation is ‘before the meal’ – not ‘before the pasta’ as you might assume! Coming from the latin ‘ante’– for before, and ‘pastus’ – for food; it’s the Italian version of hors d’oeurves. Often comprised of a colourful dish filled with different bites of cured meat, cheese, seafood and marinated vegetables, the rich flavours and bite-sized morsels of food make it perfect precursor to any meal.
The first references to antipasti were made way back in medieval Italy; although its composite parts were no doubt enjoyed long before that.
'Never again will I need to shop, prepare and style food for a large party of guests. Iliana and her team think of absolutely everything'!
Slav Calandra
