Advice

This recipe uses fresh spreadable cheese, but you can replace it with robiola, ricotta, Certosa or cream based on mascarpone and gorgonzola.

You can replace the slices of bresaola with those of turkey, with meat carpaccio or with another cured meat of your choice.

For a pleasantly crunchy touch, you can add a few walnuts or chopped almonds to the cream or enrich the filling with chopped olives and dried tomatoes; you can also add some rocket leaves or fresh spinach, roughly chopped with a knife.

If you wish, you can serve the bresaola rolls together with the classic platter of cold cuts and cheeses, as an aperitif or appetizer, accompanying everything with slices of toast, croutons or taralli. You can also prepare them in advance, cover them with a sheet of cling film and keep them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

storage

The bresaola rolls can be stored in the refrigerator, in a tightly-closed container, for a maximum of 1-2 days. Freezing is not recommended.
