Pellicano’s Signature Caprese Board

Elevate your event’s appetizer spread with the timeless elegance of Pellicano’s Signature Caprese Board. This dish highlights the heart of traditional Italian dining—taking simple, unpretentious ingredients of the absolute highest quality and letting their natural flavors shine. Beautifully arranged and designed to serve 8-12 guests, it offers a fresh, vibrant start to any meal.

The foundation of our Caprese Board features thick, velvety slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, celebrated for its delicate texture and rich, milky flavor. We pair the cheese with thick-cut tomatoes on the vine, chosen for their juicy sweetness and brilliant red color, and garnish the display with lush, fresh basil leaves that impart a sweet, herbaceous aroma.

Arranged with eye-catching artistry, the bright red, crisp white, and deep green colors mirror the Italian flag and create an irresistible centerpiece for your buffet line. It’s an effortless, light, and sophisticated dish that sets a gourmet tone for your entire gathering—a true reflection of Paul Pellicano’s commitment to authentic market-fresh quality.

Quality and Preparation: Every Caprese Board is sliced and assembled fresh right before your event. We source high-grade mozzarella and vine-ripened tomatoes to guarantee optimal texture, flavor, and visual appeal, ensuring every slice is as delicious as it is stunning. Arriving beautifully plated, it is ready to serve immediately without any extra preparation required.

To preserve maximum freshness, we include a side of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar for you to drizzle over the platter just before serving. This ensures the tomatoes and mozzarella maintain their ideal texture and flavor without absorbing the dressing ahead of time.

Catering Versatility: This classic Italian platter serves as a versatile start or side for various Pellicano menu items:

• Appetizer Pairing: Excellent as a standalone starter alongside Italian bread, marinated olives, or cured meats.

• Meal Companion: Provides a cool, refreshing balance when paired with rich pasta bakes, hot cutlets, or grilled entrees.

• Special Occasions: A must-have option for cocktail hours, bridal showers, outdoor summer gatherings, or upscale corporate events.
