Carnevale is Italy’s biggest party! Think dazzling masks, lively parades, and, most importantly, incredible food! It’s a time to feast, laugh, and embrace life before the Lenten season begins. And what better way to celebrate than with an antipasti spread so good it deserves its own parade?
Whether you're throwing a full-on Carnevale festa or just want to snack like a true Italian, here’s how to create a spread that’s as festive as the occasion itself: How To Build the Ultimate Carnevale Antipasti Platter.
Fresh & Flavourful Additions
Italians are known for their culinary flair - balancing textures and bold flavours to create the perfect bite. Mix briny olives, tangy pickled eggplant, fire-roasted peppers, and juicy sun-dried tomatoes for a vibrant spread. Drizzle aged balsamic over everything and finish with a dollop of Italian fig jam for that sweet-savoury magic.
A Bold Mix of Italian Meats & Cheeses
No Carnevale table is complete without salumi and formaggi! Load up on prosciutto di Parma, spicy soppressata, and velvety mortadella. Then, bring in the big cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano for the bold, Pecorino Romano for a salty bite, and Burrata for a creamy dream. Slice, stack, and let the flavours do the talking! Find these antipasti staples and more right here at Antipastos!
Classic Carnevale Treats
Sweet tooth? We’ve got you covered! No Italian celebration is complete without chiacchiere, light, crispy pastries dusted with powdered sugar. They’re so good, they disappear faster than confetti in the wind. Want to take them up a notch? Dip them in dark chocolate or slather them in Nutella, because why not?
