Afternoon Lunch with Fresh Italian Specialties


In Italy my lunches in usually consist of fresh bread, cheeses, meats, fruit and wine. 
I prefer softer, more spreadable cheeses like mozzarella or brie. They are best spread on fresh bread with a drizzle of honey or mixed with some jam. I usually have fruit, such as an apple or peach with it as well. Sometimes we will make sandwiches with prosciutto or other cured meats to go with the cheese. Everything is so fresh and delicious. Its a simple lunch that I will never get tired of. 
Oh, and a crisp white or rose wine is a perfect pair for this light lunch!
