Prosecco is a wonderfully popular beverage and many people enjoy a glass on special occasions or even just to spoil themselves. If you want to enjoy Prosecco with a snack or meal, it’s important to know how to pair Prosecco with the right foods.
If you have a bottle of dry or brut Prosecco, you can safely pair it with:

  • Air-dried ham
  • Sandwiches (simple and cocktail-sized)
  • Frittata
  • Mini quiches
  • Foccascia
  • Mild cheeses
  • Sushi
  • White asparagus
  • Dim sum (seafood and vegetable-based varieties)

If you have opted for a sweeter or extra dry Prosecco, you can enjoy it with:

  • Panettone
  • Light sponge cake
  • Macarons
  • Italian-style biscuits
  • Sweet souffle
  • Parfait
  • Mousse
  • Jelly and ice cream or fresh whipped cream
  • Popcorn

Not only are these pairings good to remember when enjoying or serving Prosecco, but also when putting a gift basket together. If you choose a dry Prosecco, you can add a sealed package of air-dried ham, some cheese, foccascia, and perhaps even a few mini quiches. Place all of these goodies in a basket, wrap with cellophane and add a bow for that special final touch. Of course, you could also make a hamper consisting of a bottle of extra dry Prosecco, Panettone, macarons, and delicious Italian-style biscuits. Remember to always choose the right bottle of Prosecco according to the recipent’s tastes. If you want to send a more elaborate hamper, you can either double up on the food in the hamper or you can send one dry bottle and a sweet bottle with a combination of foods and treats. Depending on your relationship with the recipient, you can even include a note to help them make the most of their gift by guiding their Prosecco pairings.
