Antipasto

/ˌæntɪˈpɑstoʊ/ noun

Definition

An Italian appetizer course consisting of cured meats, cheeses, marinated vegetables, olives, and other small dishes served before the pasta course. The selection varies by region but aims to stimulate the appetite.

Etymology

From Italian, literally meaning 'before the meal,' from 'anti' (before) and 'pasto' (meal). This course developed during the Renaissance when Italian nobility created elaborate multi-course meals, with antipasto designed to awaken the palate for the feast to follow.

Kelly Says

Traditional antipasto follows the Italian principle of 'campanilismo' - using only ingredients from within the sound of the local church bell, which is why antipasto varies so dramatically from region to region! In Italy, antipasto is never just one dish but a carefully composed selection that tells the story of local specialties.
