The Italian starter is the traditional starter in Italy. More than a recipe is a set of italian food recipes: it is a choice of dried meats as bresaola of Valtellina (see beef meat cut 18) a beef salami or carne salada (see beef meat cut 19) raw and cooked hams, various salamis, among them Culatello and Mortadella cannot be avoided.
The meats in the Italian starter are served with preserved vegetables: the great classic are the Giardiniera, the Russian salad and the mushrooms canned in olive oil. We propose also the "aglietti" typical from Piacenza, but common also throughout all the Emilia Romagna and courgette/zucchinis.
These are all products that you can buy ready made, but take a look to the recipes to prepare them: you will discover them easy and fast!
