The cold cuts board is the core of the traditional Aperitivo Italiano.

Tagliere plays a big part in the Italian social life

Spring is just behind the corner, and the cold we had this past winter is a memory. We spent so much time in the past months at home, waiting for better moments to come. Here you go: the best season of the year is ready to start. In this blog, we want to address a typical Italian tradition.

It can change a bit from north to south, but it is something that almost every Italian loves: il Tagliere, a simple cold cuts board.A difference between Italians and Americans is that Americans go out with friends for dinner or just drinks when they go out with friends. Italians go out for dinner of course, but sometimes when they don't want to go to a restaurant for the all meal, they can meet for an aperitif, that traditionally isn't just-drinks. It's rare that we just drink without eating something. Tagliere is the perfect dish with an Aperol spritz or a glass of wine.
