Gourmet Platter with Smoked Duck Speck, Cheeses, and Chestnut Honey

The Perfect Platter for a Special Occasion

Our Artisan Smoked Duck Speck is the star of this gourmet platter. Its delicate smoky note and the natural sweetness of the duck meat pair beautifully with aged cheeses, chestnut honey, and dried fruit, creating a refined appetizer ready in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

• 150 g Tastiness Artisanal Smoked Duck Speck
• 100 g aged cheese (Pecorino, Parmigiano, or Grana Padano DOP)
• 80 g soft cheese (Brie or Taleggio)
• 2 tablespoons Calabrian chestnut honey
• A handful of shelled walnuts
• A handful of toasted almonds
• A few Calabrian dried figs
• Artisanal breadsticks or toasted homemade bread
• A few arugula leaves fresh

Method

1. Place a wooden or slate cutting board on the work surface.
2. Slice the duck speck thinly and arrange it in a fan shape in the center of the cutting board.
3. Cut the aged cheeses into flakes or cubes and the soft cheese into wedges. Arrange them around the speck.
4. Add the dried figs, walnuts, and toasted almonds in the empty spaces.
5. Pour the chestnut honey into a small jar or drizzle it directly over the speck and cheeses.
6. Finish with a few fresh arugula leaves for a touch of color and freshness.
7. Add the breadsticks or toasted bread to the edges of the cutting board.
8. Serve immediately, accompanied by a glass of Alto Adige Pinot Noir or a Franciacorta Brut.

Tips

Tastiness Duck Speck should be removed from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to enhance its aromas. The chestnut honey, with its slightly bitter note, perfectly balances the sweetness of the duck meat. For an even richer platter, add a few Monacali black olives and a small bowl of artisanal mustard.
