Most people agree that the antipasti are often the best part of a meal. They are savory, tasty, and sometimes spicy, and eaten with a good piece of bread. Dipping the bread into the delicious juices, you could make a meal of it.
In general, antipasti keep well in the refrigerator, but for best flavor they should be served at room temperature. Before the days of refrigeration, food was preserved suttu sali, in salt, such as capers; sutt’uogghiu, under olive oil with the food literally submerged under the oil; and sutt’acitu, submerged under vinegar. Vegetables were kept for months under oil or vinegar. When I go to Sicily I buy little plastic disks with legs that are used to keep food under the oil or vinegar about one inch under the screw top of the jar. Most of the appetizer recipes will keep for at least two weeks, and many for over a month in the refrigerator.
