Stuzzichino, Merenda, Spuntino… Oh My! More filling than an aperitivo and lighter than antipasto, Spuntino describes a quick bite, a little taste…a nosh (in Yiddish!)

To snack is a universal concept but what it means and how you say it varies as greatly as the flavors one may choose to enjoy! From a Ciccheto in Venice to a P’zle in coastal Ionian Puglia, “a snack” stretches to accommodate local flavors and specialties that excite the palate!
Beginning in Summer 2022, the “Spuntino with Menabrea” series launches across the US and invites our friends to celebrate the art of snacking! Throughout the series we’ll encourage the creativity of regional chefs and consumers alike to engage their taste buds and design their ideal Spuntino to pair with Menabrea Lagers.

Lorenzo Diamantini, a talented Italian chef and blogger, has created a beautiful dish that pairs Menabrea with Sbirro cheese – both from Biella and a match made in heaven! Click here to read more and try the recipe yourself! Of course make sure to pair it with a glass of Menabrea Ambrata!
