Vassoio di Salumi e Formaggi
We ordered a platter for two, even though I wanted the one for four. The butter is incredible — in France, butter means Normandy, and this is the best place for butter in the world. The cheese is creamy, sweet, and has a barnyard flavor — exceptional. The sidro (dry cider) pairs perfectly, cleansing the palate. The platter costs 15 euros for two.
