LLFW 361 - Italian Finger Foods

Whether you're throwing a party, planning a picnic for the first day of spring, or just like to have exquisite nibbles around the house, you'll benefit from learning about the best meats, cheeses, and olives that Southern Europe has to offer. We'll hear the stories behind cheeses from Spain, Italy, and France; learn how salumi (the catch-word for all cured meats, such as proscuto, coppa, and bresaola) is made; and discover the vast world of olives as we taste, compare, and taste some more. And if we're lucky, we'll meet Cristiano Creminelli, Caputo's in-house salumificio (salumi maker). Proudly carrying on his family's 400-year trade, Cristiano recently won Italy's prestigious Miglior Salumificio Piemonte (best regional salumi maker) award. Matthew is the manager of Tony Caputo's Italian Deli.
