Italian Truffle Aperitif at home

Aperitivo is the time when you catch up with friends while sipping a drink and nibbling on appetizers. It’s after work, it’s before cinema, before dinner, before a party, before a dinner party. Very often it is the dinner party.

Every good aperitif has something to drink. Some new generation mindful drinks are a good fit.

The range of the food is gloriously broad, from vegan cheese to myriad bruschettas to fresh veggies, nuts and crisps. See list below.

Aperitivos are a casual affair, no one needs to be stuck in the kitchen or behind the bar. No cooking is required. You’re buying food to be mixed and matched.

Do you know where to start? These are a few ideas for a quick, tasty, unusual and chic aperitif at home to amaze your friends and conquer many compliments.

Vegan cheese: any kind of cashewbert, camemvert, diary-free cheddar, gondino….

Spread and dips: Stefania Calugi Sauce with Bianchetto truffle, Stefania Calugi Organic truffle hunter's sauce. You can spread them on any kind of flavoured crackers.

Fresh fruits/veggies: cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, radishes, cucumber, melon, grapes, strawberries, apples.

Salty bites: nuts, pistachios, Greek olives, pickles, and very special food you don’t find in supermarkets like Stefania Calugi Cherry tomatoes with truffle, Green olives stuffed with truffle, whole porcini mushrooms in oil, Tuscan artichokes in oil.

Don’t forget: bread, breadisticks and bread!
