The Italian Aperitivo: the perfect ritual for moments of relaxation and togetherness

The Italian Aperitivo is much more than just a moment before a meal: it is a tradition that celebrates the gathering of friends and family, bringing authentic flavors to the table and an atmosphere of joyful sharing. An ideal occasion to enjoy a fresh drink, like the famous Spritz, accompanied by irresistible small bites: crostini, cheeses, cured meats, and olives. Discover with us how to prepare a perfect Italian aperitivo to surprise your guests and make every gathering special.

Ingredients for an authentic Italian aperitivo

• A bottle of Prosecco
• A bottle of Aperol (or Campari for a different twist)
• Ice
• Orange slices for garnish
• Olives
• Taralli
• Pickled pearl onions
• Potato chips
• Assorted cheeses
• Various cured meats

How to prepare your Spritz and set up the buffet

1. The perfect cocktail: fill a glass generously with ice, pour the Aperol first, then the Prosecco, gently stirring. Finish with a slice of orange for an extra touch of color and aroma.
2. The snacks: create a beautiful platter with cheeses cut into slices or cubes and a selection of cured meats. Arrange olives, taralli, pickled pearl onions, and potato chips in separate small bowls to offer a variety of flavors and textures.
3. Service and conviviality: bring your aperitivo to the table with a smile and enjoy this moment of relaxation and sharing with your loved ones.
