Bresaola – Volpi Foods

Linguine With Walnut Sauce

Linguine with walnut sauce, also called “Linguine in Salsa di Noci” or “Linguine alle Noci” in Italy, has Ligurian origins, though it can be found throughout the peninsula. Comforting and hearty, especially with our bresaola tossed in at the end, it makes for a filling meal with a glass of crisp white wine. Put in a simple no-frills, stemless glass just like Nonna would and dream of the Ligurian coast.

Smoked Trout and Bresaola Tartine

A smoked trout and bresaola tartine starts along the lines of a traditional smoked trout sandwich: you’ve got your carbs (sourdough toast), creaminess (crème fraiche), smoked fish, and the salty finish of pickled red onions. Then we, of course, had to see what Bresaola would do to this beauty, and whaddya know, the combo knocked our socks off! We like to be unpredictable like that. Just like that, a new classic is born.

Bresaola Gorgonzola and Pear Tartine

Bold yet delicate, this open-faced sandwich borrows its rustic ingredients from a popular and classic flavor pairing found in trattorie around Italy. We’d like to be there right now, actually, sitting outside, enjoying the views with a crisp glass of white… So good, this Bresaola gorgonzola and pear tartine should be an American classic, too.

Blistered Shishitos with Bresaola

You’ll play a little roulette when you snack on these blistered shishitos with bresaola. About 1 in 10 will be quite spicy, while the rest will just carry their signature sweet and citrusy notes to your belly. The Japanese chowed down on these for years before they made their way across the Pacific. They go great with a cold beer on either continent.

Vietnamese Salad Rolls

Think of Vietnamese salad rolls as compact see-through salads. Brittle rice papers turn translucent when soaked in water, like a sheer curtain, revealing what’s inside in a soft light. These rolls are ubiquitous in Vietnamese restaurants and are simply what’s typically found in a salad, rolled up in rice paper and served with a bright, zippy dipping sauce. As for the Bresaola, well, why not? This could even be a fun way to get the kids to finally eat their veggies.

The Tilted Plum

The great American poet William Carlos Williams would probably be forgiven for eating the delicious plum from his friend’s icebox if he had grilled it and muddled it with bourbon. The tilted plum combines heat, sweetness and just a touch of sour. The heat from the bourbon softens the fruit and intensifies its sweetness. The lemon juice is like using salt — without it you’d notice something is off. And lavender bitters, well, we like to be classy every once in awhile. Bottom’s up. (For a nibble, Bresaola is lovely with this.)

Bresaola, Asparagus and Fresh Mozzarella Sandwich

Here’s a pretty sandwich that works for a picnic or a midnight snack (with leftovers). And all the effort is in the shopping — it’s that easy. We like the contrast between the crunchy crust and the soft, fresh cheese, and between the salty Bresaola and the smoky asparagus. Wrap these up and bring them along on a picnic. You’ll be a hero.

St-Junmai (Sake Cocktail)

So chic! A fashionable cocktail for the fashion set. Junmai is pure rice sake, meaning nothing else is used to produce it except rice, water, and a mold that converts starch into fermentable sugars. Because of this, junmai sake typically has a fuller flavor and a higher acidity that plays well with the grapefruit juice and floral flavors of the oh-so-chic St-Germain. An adornment of crisped, caramelized bresaola gives this drink an unexpected sweet-salty touch and makes this pinkish drink the perfect accessory to any fashionable soirée.

The vodka is optional — adding it obviously increases the booziness — but since sake is already high in alcohol, you can skip it for a somewhat tamer drink.

Bresaola Tonnato & Escarole Sandwich

Add this Bresaola tonnato & escarole sandwich to your go-to list of hearty open-faced sandwiches. Joining the ranks of the Tuna Melt, the Tartine and Smorrebrod (Denmark’s not-to-be-missed entry to the category), this beauty is so distinctively satisfying, you’ll forget you’re using a knife and fork. Pairing bresaola, (savory, salted, cured beef) with tonnato sauce is a modern-day twist on the Italian classic “vitello tonnato,” in which a tuna sauce is served over room temperature roasted veal. We top it with a spicy escarole salad dressed with lemon and hot chiles. This sandwich is so exceptional, it just might tide us over until the tomatoes come back again in summer.
