Stocking Antipasti for Charcuterie Boards: A Wholesale Checklist for Delis and Caterers

Charcuterie and antipasto boards are a year-round favorite for parties, catering and grab-and-go. Most of what makes a great board is shelf-stable, which makes it easy for delis, caterers and markets to keep the right items in stock by the case.

The antipasti

  • Marinated artichokes
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Cherry peppers stuffed with cheese
  • Giardiniera and pepperoncini
  • Capers and caperberries
  • Cornichons

Browse wholesale antipasti & pickles.

The olives

Mix colors and sizes: green Castelvetrano, large Cerignola, purple Kalamata and a Mediterranean mix. See wholesale olives.

The crunch

Italian breadsticks, taralli (traditional, fennel, rosemary), crackers and flatbreads give structure to the board. See breadsticks, taralli & crackers.

The sweet and savory accents

  • Honey and fruit jams to pair with cheese
  • Balsamic glaze to drizzle
  • Olive spreads and red pepper spreads such as ajvar

See honey, jams & spreads, balsamic and condiments & spreads.

Tips for delis and caterers

  • Buy larger formats for prep and smaller jars for retail resale.
  • Keep a par level for each item and reorder by the case.
  • Build pre-assembled boards for weekends and holidays.
