Fun with Finger Food Recipes – Italian Style

Are you tired of serving and eating the same old finger food recipes?. Instead of getting crafty with finger food recipes, most people think to serve the trusty favorites like chips and salsa, pretzel dips or a cheese ball of some sort.We think it’s about time to get the kitchen fired up with creative ideas. One of the oldest and fine crafters of Italian meat products, Volpi Foods, want to be your aid in the kitchen so you can perfect your next party and make it an event your guests will remember for a long time!

One of the most popular types of cuisine is Italian, wouldn’t you say? When Italian dishes come to mind, you probably think of the favorites – lasagna, pasta or pizza. However, think of all the zesty Italian meat platters and finger foods that would be an amazing addition to your menu. No longer do you have to serve only those heavy pastas and Italian dishes for your entrée; you can get creative with various Italian meat selections for wonderful appetizers and finger foods.

Even if you’re short on time, there’s no reason to rely on pre-made store dips and fruit and veggie platters. Serve an antipasto dish for a great eye appealing “before the meal” treat? Beautifully arranged, these Italian meat appetizers are unique and decadent. For this wonderful finger food recipe, we suggest mozzarela and provolone cheese with Volpi’s Milano, pre-sliced proscuitto and coppa. Simply roll up the meats and cut cheeses into small square bites, and arrange nicely on your serving platter. For an even quicker appetizer, try Volpi’s rotola, which is made of thinly sliced prosciutto rolled in mozzarella cheese.Simply slice up and serve to your guests! 

Another wonderful finger food recipe is Volpi’s “antipasticks”.These skewers add amazing flair and flavor to your party and your attendees will want to get a taste as soon as they arrive. For this, use Volpini pre-sliced salami, mozzarella cheese, green and black olives, grape tomatoes, olive oil and salt and pepper. To prepare, place olives and tomatoes in a bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.  Cut cheese in cubes.  Place (in this order) slice of salami, cheese, salami, tomato, salami and olive on the toothpick.May we suggest a perfect wine pairing? Pick up a Pinot Grigio or perhaps a Chianti Classico.

We invite you to take a deeper and more creative approach to your finger food recipes the next time you entertain. These finger food recipes are not only Italian meat delicacies, they are also very simple to prepare! When you can have appetizers like these, why bother with the boring and expected dips and salsas? Save those for the childrens’ next sleepover.
