How to Assemble Your Antipasto Plate:

1. Prepare the Cretan Bread Rusk Base

   Start by arranging the Cretan bread rusks on a large wooden board or serving platter. Drizzle them with a generous amount of high-quality extra virgin olive oil to soften them slightly and enhance their flavor.

2. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Mizithra Cheese

   Place Yamas Food sun-dried tomatoes on top of some of the rusks. Sprinkle with grated Mizithra cheese for a salty and tangy contrast.

3. Incorporate Olives & Pickles

   Scatter Iliada olive oil pitted olives or stuffed olives with peppers across the board for a briny and savory bite. Complement these with Uncle Yannis pickles to add a tangy crunch.

4. Make Bruschettas with Kalamata Olive Paste

   Spread Iliada organic Kalamata olive paste on a few slices of toasted bread or rusks. This rich, umami-packed paste pairs beautifully with the other ingredients.

5. Slice & Arrange Kefalograviera Cheese

   Cut Kefalograviera cheese into thin slices and arrange them around the platter. Its firm texture and nutty, slightly salty taste make it an excellent addition.

6. Balance with Fresh Fruits

   To add a touch of natural sweetness, include fresh fruits like figs, grapes, or thinly sliced apples. Their juicy and sweet flavors balance the saltiness of the cheeses and olives.

7. Pair with a Refreshing Beverage

   Complete your antipasto experience with a crisp and aromatic Bergamot Soda from Three Cents. Its citrusy notes will cleanse your palate and enhance the Mediterranean flavors.
