Sopressata focus is on rustic aromatic flavor with the sweet fennel seed and red pepper bringing a balance to the perfect salami. Pairs perfectly with the slow aged goodness of the red wine being slow aged into the salami and romanced with the merlot Bellavitano bringing a wine forward flavor to the forefront. Finish this off with the butteriness of the slow aged prosciutto pairing perfectly with the meaty flavor of the Castelvetrano olives, and end on a nice dried sweet note to play nicely off the merlot flavor of the cheese.

INGREDIENTS

8 oz COLUMBUS® Sopressata Salami
3 oz COLUMBUS® Prosciutto
6 oz Sartori Merlot Bellavitano cheese
4 oz Castelvetrano olives
3 oz strawberries
6 oz olive oil and sea salt flatbread

HOW TO ENJOY

2. Follow up the eating experience with the sweet acidity of a strawberry and follow up with a buttery prosciutto slice.
3. Finish your pairing with the buttery acidity of a Castelvetrano olive and the crunch of flatbread cracker while enjoying a glass of wine or hard cider.
