Fun Finger Food Recipes Made with Italian Specialty Meat

Are you tired of serving and eating the same old finger food recipes? Instead of getting crafty with finger food recipes, most people believe that serve faithful favorites like chips and salsa, pretzel dip or a cheese ball of some sort. We think it is time to get the kitchen fired up with creative ideas. Volpi Foods, one of America's oldest and most prestigious manufacturer of handmade Italian meat products would help in the kitchen, so your next get-together will be one your friends will not forget! 



One of the most popular types of cuisine is Italian, would not you say? Pizza, pasta and lasagne is very likely to come into your mind first when thinking of Italian dishes to serve your guests. But, think of all the zesty Italian meat dishes and finger foods that would be a great addition to your menu. No longer do you have to serve only the heavy pasta dishes and Italian dishes for your entrée, and you can be creative with different Italian meat selections for wonderful appetizers and finger foods. 



Even if you lack the time, there is no reason to rely on pre-made store dips and fruit and veggie dishes. How about serving an antipasto plate as a unique "before the meal" deal? Decadently arranged, these Italian roasts are one of a kind and pleasant to the eye. To this delicious snack recipe, use mozzarela and Provolone with Volpi's Milan, pre-sliced proscuitto and Coppa. Just roll the meat and cheese cut into small square pieces, then arrange the perfect dish. For a quick appetizer, try Volpi's rotola, which is made of thinly sliced prosciutto rolled in mozzarella cheese. Simply slice up and serve your guests! 



Another wonderful finger food recipe is Volpi's "antipasticks". These skewers add fabulous flair and flavor to your party and your participants will want to get a taste as soon as they arrive. For this use Volpini pre-sliced salami, mozzarella cheese, green and black olives, grapes, tomatoes, olive oil and salt and pepper. To prepare, place, olives and tomatoes in a bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Cut cheese into cubes. Place (in that order) slice of salami, cheese, salami, tomato, salami and olives on toothpicks. And what we recommend a great wine pairing? Pick up a Pinot Grigio, or perhaps a Chianti Classico. 



Volpi Foods invites you to be creative with your finger food recipes and add more zest nest time you have a gathering or party - big or small. These snacks recipes are not only Italian meat delicacies, they are also very simple to prepare! When you can have appetizers such as these, why bother with the boring and expected dips and salsas? Save them for the children's' next sleepover.
